Summary: Very helpful for Parents who prefer Cry It Out Type Method
Comment: I found this book a great companion to Dr Ferber's book. This one is very easy to read, well organized, and provides pep talks if you're about to start a difficult transition with your child. However, it lacks the graduated steps of the Ferber program (check on your child after 5 minutes, then 10, etc) that is so useful in the Ferber program. I used this book a pep talk before doing the Ferber program of crying with checking in intervals, and holding the door shut for a minute at a time. It worked! The first night we tried it for my toddler (who just discovered how to climb over her bed rail and wake us up every night for the past 2 months), she cried and jumped out of bed for 2 hours, then slept through the night. The second night she cried for 10 minutes, but stayed in bed and slept through the night. The third night, she let out a cry then went to sleep! If you prefer this type of cold turkey method, use it, but with Ferber. Otherwise, try one of those no-cry solutions which takes much longer, but may suit some parents.

Summary: good and bad pionts
Comment: This book does have some concerns to me, but overall it was helpfull. People who left reviews saying they were told that they would sleep fine during some trials did not read this correctly. It clearly states if you cant handle the three day stint, dont do it! "Try what you are more comfortable with" and there were other options than the three day program. It also does not tell you to lock your child in their room and dont check on them. This book helps you understand that you dont need to run to your child the second they start crying, because then they think everything will be solved the minute they start to fuss, which leads to manipulation. I personally would not like the three day program, but this book gives good advice on how to get your child ready for bed without fuss.

Summary: This book's not worth the paper it's printed on!
Comment: I only gave the book one star, because zero stars was not an option!
Any book that advocates shutting your child in the room and not checking on them until morning is not only medically unsound, but also cruel. You'd be better off reading Dr.'s Ferber or Sears.
