Book Reviews of The Floppy Sleep Game Book: A Proven 4- Week Plan to Get Your Child to Sleep
Book Review: We've tried everything!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5-1/2 year old son has a lot of trouble falling asleep, owing to a severe auditory processing disorder. We have tried everything we can think of and read every sleep book. We have a bedtime routine, no TV, a weighted blanket, tryptophan-rich foods before bed. Even Benadryl does not help! Needless to say, I bought this book with a high degree of skepticism. At the time, I had an appointment pending with a pediatric sleep specialist. My son is frequently unable to translate instructions he hears into action for his body; he processes more like a younger child. After the musical intro and reading out the floppy sleep game, my child was asleep within 20 minutes! Compare to 2 hours! This has gone on night after night after night. We don't even need to do it anymore. We recently went out of town--always a sleep disaster--and he did great! He even took a nap one day! (completely unheard of!) It seems to have helped him recognize when he is tired and to respond to that with relaxation instead of resistance. He welcomes sleeptime and last night even told me he was ready for bed and did not want to stay up and watch a movie for a special treat with his brother! I can't say enough good things about the book. I wish the CD had more relaxation/intros because all my kids, 7 yr old son and 2 yr old daughter included, really like moving and stretching and doing the yoga-style poses. We did not do the entire program, but it all looks pretty good. Now we include reading or telling a "dream" after our bedtime reading every night. In addition to Teel's book, which we love, we also use "Moonbeams" and "Starbright" two books of meditations for children. We adapt those to meet our needs. I even told the sleep specialist about this book. One recommendation the sleep doctor had was to put a couple of drops of oil of lavender (the relaxing variety, not the stimulating one) on a cotton ball next to his bed at bedtime. (This seems to be helpful despite seeming flaky.) I hope Patti Teel comes out with another CD!
