好评：

'I would like all prospective parents to read or hear about the contents of this book. It is gentle and non-prescriptive but clearly explained and wise too... This book is laid out to be as helpful as possible, not too long and with good signposting[...] It will certainly help a parent or carer to support good sleeping and resting habits for children, and, more than that, will deepen understanding of many developmental needs of young children.'

-- Jill Taplin, Kindling

'Adam Blanning's Raising Sound Sleepers is groundbreaking. He beautifully describes how to care for children's inner space, their inner life, with its wise messages of health and regeneration. His language is refreshingly common-sense. Without obscure or technical concepts, he guides us in observing our own children through a new lens... This book is an insightful gem, and a gift for the children of our time. I heartily recommend it to parents, teachers and doctors who care for children.'

-- Alicia Landman-Reiner, Anthroposophic Medicine Trainer and Consultant

'This book is about so much more than helping your child be able to sleep independently. It helps with so many other issues regarding children’s behaviour such as thumb sucking, restlessness, trauma and so on. It contains a lot of practical advice and is useful no matter how many children you have or what their ages are.'

'With easy-to-absorb examples, I was really impressed by this book. I like the breakdown of information and the clear diagrams to help aid my understanding of the point.'

'I have learnt SO much from this book and now have lots of ideas to try at home, to slowly and gently, give my little one the independence he is capable of achieving now. This book has really helped with my understanding of the developmental milestones in the early years and how these affect behaviour and sleep.'
