The guide helps parents to assist their children in overcoming the anxiety of sleeping alone or away from the family. It provides a step-by-step approach that includes preparing the child for the change, making their bedroom a welcoming space, establishing a comforting bedtime routine, and gradually facing fears through a ‘fear ladder’.
The guide also emphasizes the importance of praise and positive reinforcement for each step the child takes towards independent sleeping. Additionally, it offers strategies for children who are anxious about sleeping away from home, such as sleepovers or camps, by setting goals, creating a plan, and problem-solving worries.
