You can hold down a job, cook halfway decent meals, and even fill in endless school forms, yet one small child at bedtime can still unravel the lot. When nights are broken and mornings start in tears, it is tempting to think you have failed some secret test of baby sleep training. This book offers a calmer path. It explains circadian rhythm for kids in plain language, then helps you design an evening that suits your child and your values. You will learn how gentle sleep coaching really works, why strong habits beat rigid rules, and how to read night wakings without panic. Screens, light, and food are woven in realistically, so screen time and sleep can coexist without constant guilt. Across chapters you will find practical guidance on naps, co-sleep choices, and night waking help, plus realistic strategies for travel sleep tips and those weeks when illness or guests blow everything apart. Morning chapters focus on movement, breakfast, and a predictable morning routine for families that makes school runs less brutal. Throughout, there is space for co sleeping solutions and family culture as well as gradual change. Written for exhausted parents who want an adaptable plan rather than a rigid programme, this is a parenting sleep book you can return to at every stage, from babyhood through primary years and beyond.

- Naya Kirell is a writer and parent who thinks in systems: how small, everyday choices quietly shape the way families live, rest, and relate. Over many years of listening to overtired parents in living rooms, playgroups, and community workshops, she has collected the honest stories that rarely appear in neat advice columns. Her work focuses on the practical edges where real children, tight schedules, and big feelings collide. Raised in a household where bedtime meant stories by soft lamplight, Naya grew up noticing how different cultures protect the transition from day to night. She brings that respect for tradition into the realities of modern life with its long commutes, glowing screens, and shared bedrooms. Her writing blends clear explanation with gentle humour and zero judgement, always asking what will actually work at 2 a.m. Naya’s aim is simple: to help families build sleep habits that fit who they are, so mornings feel kinder for everyone in the house.
