I cannot recommend this book. I read it and genuinely tried to implement their methods but I was unhappy, my son was unhappy and it was a terrible mess that took years to undo.
The book among other things recommends that you leave a child in their room, say good night, shut the door and then use "controlled crying" to encourage the child to sleep alone.
This may work for some but in the long run what has the child learned? The people who are closest to them are untrustworthy and unreliable.
There are plenty of parenting books out there that will give all sorts of advice but after having 3 children all of whom are genuinely happy, well behaved children who know they are loved and can trust their parents with everything, I have to say that ignoring them even when they desperately need reassurance is not going to achieve anything but a good nights sleep for you for the temporary years of your kids childhood. The results of loosing their trust will last a lifetime.
