No Cry Solutions

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

When we decided to move my oldest to his own bed after co-sleeping for ten months I ran into some difficulties. I did NOT want to do the cry-it-out method. It made me feel like a horrible parent and I was letting my child suffer. I did some research into sleep training for babies and came across the “The No-Cry Sleep Solution” by Elizabeth Pantley. I found this book to be an invaluable resource while transitioning my son to his crib and teaching him to fall asleep on his own.

Now that my second son is a year old I am ready to move him to his own crib after doing a year of co-sleeping and am once again looking to the Pantley method for solutions. With my second child, I face a lot of different challenges then I did with my first, so I am going through and re-reading the book. Since Hunter poses some unique challenges, I decided to go the source herself and email Elizabeth Pantley with a question that is unique to Hunter. Or at least check out her website to see if there is already advice that I can use to my advantage.

While on her site I discovered that she has a new book out, “The No-Cry Separation Anxiety Solution.” She has a series of six books at this point, and I would love to own all of them. Here the publishers summary of the book:

BOOK SUMMARY FROM THE PUBLISHER

A tear-free approach to child separation blues—from the bestselling No Cry author a generation of parents have come to trust

Almost every child suffers some sort of anxiety during their first six years of life. Babies cry when grandparents hold them, toddlers cling to mommy’s leg, children weep when their parent leaves them at daycare, at school, or to go to work. This can cause frustration, sadness and stress in an already too-busy day and can break a parent’s heart.

Trusted parenting author Elizabeth Pantley brings you another winning no-cry formula that helps you solve these common separation issues. Pantley helps you identify the source of anxiety and offers simple but proven solutions.

In this exciting addition to the series, she ingeniously includes a free “magic” bracelet inside the book as a special tool for children to feel close to their parents—even when they’re not together. This successful method gives anxious children something to remind them their parents aren’t too far away—instantly providing them with the comfort and reassurance they need 


Here’s what the professionals have to say about The No-Cry Separation Anxiety Solution


“In The No-Cry Separation Anxiety Solution, Elizabeth Pantley teaches us the difference between love-based separation anxiety and anxiety that stems from fear. She leaves us knowing that most childhood experiences are healthy, natural stops on the path of development. Through wisdom and many pointers, Elizabeth Pantley will provide a generation with an easier and happier journey through childhood – while also soothing the worry and guilt most parents feel. I’m grateful for this resource – and can’t imagine raising another child without it.” 
~ Gavin de Becker, Bestselling Author
