Poor sleep habits are known to have a detrimental impact on physical, emotional and academic functioning. During my three decades as a child psychiatrist, I have watched many children and parents struggle to change these entrenched sleep patterns. The Quest for Rest offers much-needed help by combining two books in one and motivates children to take the lead.
This book is a key piece to solving the sleep puzzle.
