Dream Team Pets *Holiday Gift Guide

***Great Gift for Kids***

Raising an independent child begins at night. Dream Team Pets are both a fun toy for your child and an important tool for helping parents develop sleep independence. Find out exactly what sleep independence is, and how a Dream Team Pet can help your child be well on their way to a peaceful night.

What is sleep independence?

As your child grows, she becomes more independent. Sometimes, though, sleeping alone falls a bit behind all the other important developmental milestones. If your child repeatedly wakes in the night, has trouble getting back to sleep after waking, or always seems to end up in the “big bed,” they may need help developing sleep independence. Most experts agree that a child is fully sleep independent when they can sleep 6-8 hours a night, and easily self-soothe back to sleep.

How does a Dream Team Pet help my child sleep soundly?

Dream Team Pets aren’t your average stuffed animal – they’re much tougher than a teddy. Throughout the process of training a Dream Team Pet, your child will be reassured that their Pet is standing guard while they sleep. If they do wake in the night, a quick snuggle with Mighty Lion, Magical Cat, or Playful Puppy will quickly comfort them back to dreamland.

How do I train a Dream Team Pet?

Training your Dream Team Pets is easy, especially if you already have an established bedtime routine. When it’s time to tuck your child in, read the included Dream Team Pets book with your child, and recite the Dream Team Pets poem aloud. Once your child has slept soundly through the night, reward the Dream Team Pet for a good night of hard work. Once your Certificate of Training is filled with stars, the Dream Team Pet is ready to stay with your child as long as they need.

What happens if my child has a bad night after training is over?

Sometimes, bad nights happen, and that’s okay! If your child has one night where they’re unable to get back to sleep, ask the Dream Team Pet to work extra-hard the next night, and encourage your child to lean on the Pet if they’re feeling scared. If you notice a pattern of sleepless nights, you may want to consider going through the training process with your Dream Team Pet again. Sometimes, even the best companions need a refresher course!

What if my child has serious sleep issues?

Dream Team Pets aren’t equipped to handle some sleep issues, like night terrors, sleep apnea, or sleepwalking. If you suspect that your child’s inability to sleep is more serious than just a lack of confidence at bedtime, consider reaching out to a child psychologist. A professional can help you develop a treatment plan to improve your child’s sleep independence.

I can't wait to give this to my son for Christmas, anything that will help him get into a good sleep routine is great for me!!! So if you have a young child who need to get into a sleep routine, or you have a special child on your gift list, this is a wonderful gift to give.  The parents get a good night sleep and the child thinks they just got a great stuffed animal!!
