Have you tried everything to get your child to sleep and nothing has worked? You are not alone.

Researcher and sleep coach Macall Gordon and the Sleep Lady Kim West offer a tried-and-true approach to shifting sleep behavior that actually works . . . even when nothing else has.

A tsunami of modern sleep training methods promise "easy" and "quick" results and for many parents and children, these methods work as intended. However, there is a large, exhausted group of parents whose children have sleep problems that are not responsive to those crying-based methods.
