About the book
Responding to a crying child is a natural instinct. The Safe Sleep Space approach rekindles the natural instinct of parents in a way that promotes a feeling of safety and security in the infant while fostering a sense of parental fulfilment. What better way to find that elusive sleep for infants and young children than to offer a gentle, loving, helping hand so they can find an emotional and physical Safe Sleep Space.

About the DVD
Baby sleep disturbances are a result of many factors including our social structure, understanding, expectations and lifestyles; whatever the cause, the impact on the baby and the family can be enormous.

Safe Sleep Space offers parents a better understanding of babies needs, cues and capabilities, then provides a step-by-step guide to workable strategies so an emotional and physical safe sleep space can be created.

With an emphasis on caregiver interaction, baby social-emotional development, and the need for families to offer support to sleepless babies, the Safe Sleep Space approach helps families reach sustainable change in a loving, informed way. The strategies involve responding appropriately to individual baby cues and communication, and therefore accommodating individual baby responses, temperaments and behaviours. With this in mind, no controlled crying is required to achieve good sleep patterns.
