Synopsis

Has Dad Joined The Circus?

Does your child struggle to fall asleep on their own?

Often, you need to be there with them. This might be okay at the start of the night but if a child wakes up many times overnight, it can quickly become exhausting for you. When this is happening, everyone can end up tired and grumpy!

Follow Kip as he takes Viet on a fun adventure to learn about an evidence-based technique called Camping Out.

Camping out is a gentle way to help parents move out of their child’s bedroom – typically over 1-3 weeks – whilst encouraging their child to fall asleep by themselves at the start of the night. This technique is especially suited to children who might be worried or anxious (as opposed to grumpy) if their parents try to leave the bedroom at the start of the night.

Developed by Australia's leading children's research hospital, our stories are backed by 20 years of research to support healthy sleep habits.

About the Author

Hi, I'm Professor Harriet Hiscock, a paediatrician and senior researcher at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, where I have led two decades of research into baby and child sleep. Along with my team, I have conducted world-first trials of parent-led strategies to improve infant sleep, sleep in children and sleep in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

My team has followed babies and children over time, demonstrating that these sleep strategies not only improve sleep in children but can also improve parent sleep and mental health. My work provides evidence that these strategies are safe for children. Sleep with Kip brings together two decades of internationally renowned work to provide evidence-based support for children and families.

From the Back Cover

Viet's dad doesn't stay in the room at bedtime anymore. So where has he gone? The circus? The sea? The moon? Hopefully Kip can help figure it out.
