Summary:

"This second edition remains committed to providing clinicians with developmentally appropriate information that will enable them to treat commonly seen behavioral sleep problems. With a concise format, the book provides clinicians a hands-on guide to behavioral treatments for pediatric sleep problems, with practical information, including: the presentation, prevalence, and etiology of sleep problems; options for different treatment approaches, including considerations related to a socioecological framework and for special populations (e.g., neurodiverse children or children with chronic medical conditions), which can influence discussions of how and why treatments work; step-by-step instructions for implementing treatments; examples of what to say to families; ways to manage potential pitfalls; and treatment handouts for patients/families for use in clinical practice. This second edition reevaluates the evidence supporting the recommended interventions. It includes a chapter focused on cognitive-behavioral interventions for disorders of hypersomnolence. Other significant changes include newer and more nuanced frameworks for understanding sleep in children and adolescents. The book highlights areas where clinicians may need to conceptualize sleep problems from a broader lens, modifying the assessment and treatment of pediatric sleep concerns. It introduces the Peds B-SATED model of pediatric sleep health. The book recognizes that not all children sleep in a bed and/or in a bedroom, with some sleeping on couches or in different locations in different homes. The clinicians will find this book to be a valuable resource for the treatment of behavioral sleep problems that commonly present in pediatric practice."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
