Product Overview
A holistic, evidence-based approach to childrens’ sleep
Sleep remains one of the most common concerns raised by parents, yet understanding normal sleep is often complicated. Expectations around infant and child sleep are shaped by culture, social norms, and an overwhelming amount of conflicting advice.
Holistic Sleep Coaching offers a clear, evidence-informed framework for supporting sleep in babies, children, and families. Moving beyond behaviourist models and one-size-fits-all solutions, it recognises that sleep is influenced by a complex interplay of biology, development, relationships, environment, and individual differences.
This fully revised second edition reflects the growing body of research in sleep, attachment, feeding, and neurodevelopment. It explores topics including regulation, sleep biology, crying, temperament, feeding challenges, anxiety, sensory differences, neurodivergence, and chronic health conditions—equipping professionals with the tools to assess sleep in context and respond with sensitivity and clinical insight.
Grounded in science and compassion, Holistic Sleep Coaching supports health and childcare professionals to optimise sleep without compromising responsiveness, helping families move from confusion to confidence.
