The Family Bed

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"The sharing of the family bed by parents and their children is no modern notion. From cave to castle, all over the world, group sleeping was accepted as the norm. It has only been within the last 150 years that modern Western "authorities" have discouraged this practice. Now there is a book that puts this age-old concept into perspective. The Family Bed explores the pros and cons, the joys and irritations that occur when children sleep with their parents. What emerges from this book is a way to solve nighttime problems with young children and a means of creating a closer bond between family members, giving children a greater sense of security." -From the Publisher
