The Sleep Activity Program provides information and strategies health care professionals and caregivers can use to promote predictable behaviors in babies through activities, routines and actions. Important issues such as management of sleep and dealing with distress and crying are also covered. The Sleep Activity Program assists professionals and caregivers in the development of self-regulation in infants and young children.
The Beginning Rhythms manual provides information on the emerging process of Sleep Wake Behavior and Self-Regulation, the Sleep Activity Record is used to record behaviors in the everyday life of the pregnant woman or young child and the How To Promote Good Sleep Habits guides parents in helping their baby gain control over sleep and wake periods during the first year of life.
With the knowledge gained from the Beginning Rhythms book and the patterns identified on the Sleep Activity Record, you will be able to assess the emerging patterns of both mother and infant and suggest things to do to improve the self-regulation in the infant/young child. You will also be able to answer these frequently asked questions:
· Am I getting enough rest?
· Am I exercising enough?
· How long should I let my baby cry?
· How can I tell if my baby is hungry?
· How can I get my baby back to sleep?
· When will my baby sleep through the night?
The Sleep Activity Record (SAR) is used to record behaviors in the everyday life of the pregnant woman or young child. (100/Pad)
