Sleeping Kids


Sorry for the long break in blogging but have been away for over a month, mostly voluntary but also part unanticipated. Anyway its a new month and have loads to write about!!!

A friend of mine in New York actually brought to my attention a wonderful product that she had to order online from the UK. Its called Kidsleep and it helps your child's sleep pattern get on track...which in turn helps yours! The kidsleep product works by showing your child in a simple and easy to understand way when its time to get up and when its time to stay in bed. It has 2 images, one of a bunny asleep and one of a bunny awake. When the child wakes, they can simply look at the clock face and the lit image will either be showing the sleeping bunny ( which means to continue sleeping) or it will show the wide awake bunny ( which means time to get up!) The clock has no numbers or dials, just the 2 images. All the parent needs to do is set the clock to the time you want your child to really get up. It is also great for sleep training your child to wake up later in the morning, by gradually changing the alarm to later and later in the morning. It is a very straight forward visual clock and your child should pick up on the rhythm quite quickly. Over 30,000 have been sold in Europe and as I mentioned, it was an American friend who told me about it ( and all her other mummy friends), she swears by it. It retails for 35.00 GBP including shipping. So enjoy and get that much needed sleep!
