Review title: Old and outdated
Product review: This book was written in 1986 and is based on 'old school' methods. It applies extinction-based theory to children - stating that if you stop going to them when they cry they will stop crying. It even advises you to ignore vomiting, or head-banging, and use a crib tent or door lock if necessary. There is something deeply disturbing about such a theory. While this may result in a child who allows the parents to sleep undisturbed I question the emotional and psychological results of such a method. There are several much newer books on the topic which appear to be based on current research and theory and present more humane approaches to an age-old problem - getting children to sleep: The No-Cry Sleep Solution and Sweet Dreams.
