“I don’t want to go to bed!” If you’re a parent of a preschool-age child, you’ve probably heard this before. And you probably know about the crying, fits, and complaining—by both of you—that can follow. Ready for Bed! offers healthy, lasting solutions for a stress-free bedtime routine.

This book, and others in the series, provides a BONUS for parents and caregivers. With honesty and gentle humour, Ready for Bed! shows how to handle typical bedtime struggles by modelling three parenting techniques using color-coded text to teach the language of positive parenting:

  • Giving encouragement
  • Validating feelings
  • Offering choices

These techniques are explained in detail in a section at the end of the book that is just for adults. The result: you get through bedtime challenges with less stress while building your child's emotional intelligence and your own parenting skills.

Ready for Bed! features:

  • An engaging, realistic story that will ring true for parents and kids alike
  • Easy-to-use techniques and positive language highlighted in color-coded text
  • A section just for adults that explains the language of positive parenting
  • An easy, fun way to improve parenting skills—by reading with your child

Ready for Bed! is part of the ParentSmart/KidHappy series, the only parenting books intended for grown-ups and kids to share. Reading this book not only teaches adults effective techniques for encouraging bedtime co-operation, it provides a model for kids to follow.
