Resumo
Chronic sleep disturbance, such as bed refusal, sleep‐onset delay, and night waking with crying, affects 15% to 35% of preschool children. Biological factors, particularly arousals associated with recurrent episodes of rapid‐eye‐movement sleep, render infants vulnerable to repeated awakenings. Parental failure to establish appropriate stimulus control of sleep‐related behaviors and parent‐mediated contingencies of reinforcement for sleep‐incompatible behaviors may shape and maintain infant sleep disturbance. Treatment and prevention strategies are discussed, and research needs are identified.
