New Book Adorably Illustrates the Ultimate Power of Sleep Over an Irresistible Yet Non-Compliant Toddler

Eagle, Colo. (PRWEB) January 30, 2012 In the spirit of the classic ?Goodnight Moon? authored by Magaret Wise Brown six decades past, a new book arrives on the scene that will win a place of high acclaim in the routine bedtime-story realm. Long a popular picture book topic, a unique twist to the matter of sleep is brought to life by Sandy Fisher-Houghton in her new book ?Sleep Comes To You? (published by AuthorHouse).
In ?Sleep Comes To You? Fisher-Houghton details the familiar story of a precocious child seemingly adverse to the option of sleep. Yet the book interrupts this familiar terrain by offering the refraining wisdom: ?You don?t go to sleep / Sleep comes to you.?

Parenting Advice & Parenting Skills

We all doubt our own parenting skills at one time or another. Unfortunately babies don't come with instructions so we have to learn on the job and by getting parenting advice along the way from family and friends, magazines, books and websites.
A good way of learning some basic parenting skills is to attend antenatal classes before the birth. This helps not only by teaching you how to cope in different situations, but also by letting you know what to expect as a new parent – if you don't have friends or relatives with young babies, it can be a real shock to suddenly find yourself at home alone with a crying newborn! The other benefit is that you will probably meet other couples in your local area who are in the same

Step-Parenting and Discipline

A hard thing about being a step parent is the fact that your power and control only go so far. With my own child I know what I can do to resolve a situation. With the step kids there are always other factors to keep in mind. In many cases you have to discuss discipline with their dad and you may not be on the same page. Likewise the biological mother may not always agree with how you deal with a situation pertaining to her kids. Unfortunately to some extent she does have a say in the rules you create, even in your own home.
