“As the mother of four children, I know I don’t have to convince you that your life would be easier if your child went to bed easily and slept the entire night–every night–waking up in the morning at a reasonable hour, refreshed and happy. I understand how frustrating it is to end the day with battles over bedtime, and I know the pain of being roused from a sound sleep every single night by a child standing near my bed. But I also know the pleasure of having my four children sleep all night while I, too, have my own good night’s sleep.”
