You probably don't need another list of sleep tips

Maybe you've already tried a new bedtime routine, a later bedtime, blackout curtains or less screen time, and sleep is still hard. The Better Sleep Toolkit helps you figure out what is actually getting in the way of your child's sleep, and what to do about it, one step at a time.

This toolkit is for you if your child:

  • Needs you lying beside them, rubbing their back or coming back again and again to fall asleep

  • Keeps bedtime going after goodnight with one more drink, one more hug or one more question

  • Wakes during the night and can't get back to sleep without you

  • Is up for the day at 5:30 when the rest of the house isn't ready

It's written for parents of children ages 2 to 12. You choose the pace, and the plan can be adjusted to fit your child's age, needs and temperament.

Does this sound familiar?

The workbook walks you through sleep in the same order I use with families.

  1. Observe. Track your child's sleep for a week before changing anything.

  2. Check the foundations. Look at sleep timing, the bedroom and the bedtime routine.

  3. Look at how sleep begins. Notice what your child needs from you to fall asleep.

  4. Choose your first target. Pick one place to start instead of changing everything at once.

  5. Try your plan. Put it into practice for a stretch of nights.

  6. Check progress. Use your sleep record to decide what to keep and what to adjust.

How it works

The workbook (38 pages)

  • A 7-night sleep record and a guided look at what your week shows

  • A foundations check: sleep timing, how much sleep your child needs, the bedroom and the bedtime routine

  • A simple guide to choosing where to start

  • Step-by-step sections for falling asleep without you, bedtime that keeps going, night waking and early waking

  • Example words for preparing your child ahead of time and for responding calmly at bedtime

  • A one-page sleep plan, a progress check and troubleshooting

The Visual Resources packet (17 pages)

  • A picture bedtime schedule, a bedtime checklist for older kids, blank cards and a To Do / Done board

  • An editable social story, with a page to match how you'll help at bedtime

  • Bedtime pass cards, a bedtime chart and a morning cue card

  • A printable 7-night sleep record

Every printable is an example you can change to fit your child, and they're designed to print at home without using a lot of ink.

What's inside

I'm Tiffany Marrelli, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Certified Behavioral Sleep Practitioner and mom of three. I've worked with children and families for more than 18 years. Many of the parents I meet are tired and pulled in different directions by all the sleep advice out there.

I wrote this workbook to walk you through the same process I use with families: understand what's going on first, then build a plan that fits your child and your family.

About me

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You'll get a PDF download right after purchase. Print the pages you need at home. Some pages, like the 7-night sleep record, are meant to be printed again each week.

  • Children ages 2 to 12. The Visual Resources packet has a picture schedule for younger kids and a checklist for older kids.

  • You'll spend the first week watching and tracking sleep. After that, most changes take a couple of weeks or longer to show steady progress.

  • Yes. The strategies can be adjusted to fit your child, and the visual tools help many kids who do better when they can see the steps. If your child's needs make the strategies hard to apply, individualized support may be a better fit.

  • No. After the first few sections, a one-page guide points you to the part that fits your child's sleep challenge.

  • The workbook includes a troubleshooting section for when progress stalls. If you'd like help with your child's specific situation, you can book a free call with me.

  • The toolkit is for personal use with your own family. If a friend would find it helpful, I'd love for you to send them to this page.

  • Because this is a digital download, all sales are final.

Is this the right fit?

This toolkit is built for common sleep challenges like the ones above. It isn't designed to diagnose or treat medical sleep problems. If your child snores loudly, seems to stop breathing during sleep, or you have concerns about their health, start with your child's doctor.

If bedtime involves a lot of distress or safety concerns, or you'd like help fitting a plan to your child, I also offer individualized sleep support.
