"Drs. Lisa Meltzer and Valerie McLaughlin Crabtree are two of the best pediatric clinical experts in the world. It would be great to have them sitting in the room with you when you're working with pediatric sleep patients. But this book gives you the next best thing-their knowledge, teachings, and guidance stuffed into your back pocket!" - Michael Gradisar, PhD, MPsych, Clin, CEO, WINK Sleep, Australia

"The new edition of Pediatric Sleep Problems: A Clinician's Guide to Behavioral Interventions is invaluable to pediatricians, mental health providers, and anyone working with tired kids and parents. The problem-based approach and clear writing will help practitioners come up with a plan of action to address an array of sleep problems. My copy of the first edition is well-worn, as I use it all the time, and this version is even better." - Craig Canapari, MD, Associate Professor, Yale University School of Medicine; Director, Pediatric Sleep Center, Yale New Haven Hospital, Division of Pediatric Respiratory Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT, United States

"The second edition of Pediatric Sleep Problems is an essential resource for professionals at all levels of training in the field of sleep medicine. It is structured in a clear and accessible manner, allowing busy clinicians to easily grasp key concepts. The recommendations are practical and can be easily implemented within a clinical practice. The authors recognize that families come in many different forms and configurations. Thus, the content stresses the importance of considering individual environmental and cultural factors when treating behavioral sleep problems. It also addresses modifications in approach that may be needed in children with neurodivergence. In summary, Pediatric Sleep Problems emphasizes that behavioral sleep interventions should be tailored to the unique circumstances of each patient. This informative book advocates for personalized, culturally sensitive, and adaptable methods to improve patient outcomes." - Althea Robinson Shelton, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology, Vanderbilt-Sleep Division, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, United States

"There is no doubt that sleep is critical for our kids' well-being. In a societal and professional world in which time is of the essence, access to reliable, practical, and effective information and guidance to solve sleep problems and optimize sleep in our children is a must. The first edition of the book by Drs. Meltzer and Crabtree was great, but this edition is simply it!!" - David Gozal, MD, MBA, PhD, Hon, Dean, Joan C.
