For many parents, getting children to sleep is an ongoing battle. Desperate for solutions, theyll try everything, from blackout curtains to white-noise machines. A new book, written by a Swedish behavioral psychologist and linguist named Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin, is being hailed by fans as one of the best options yet.
According to information on Forssen Ehrlins website, he wrote the book with a specific language pattern based on psychological techniques that will help your child to relax and fall asleep.
And Forssen Ehrlin isnt shy about his sleep-inducing claims. The cover of "The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep" proclaims, I can make anyone fall asleep.
