| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Sleep problems are common during the first years of life (about 25-30%). Although sleep difficulties are often transient and self-limited in nature, they may persist over the years, may get worse if left untreated and may also affect parents’ sleep and daytime functioning. This study evaluated the efficacy of the intervention which is used at the Child Development Center of the University Children’s Hospital Zürich. Our approach is based on concepts of stimulus control and parental expectations and cognitions. Weitere Informationen |
