Written by a former aba therapist, twin mom-of-three, and infant & child sleep educator-consultant, Bekka Barattini. Twins Get A Big Bed! is a testament that two things can be true: a need for more books aimed to help children with transitions...and that realistic situations promoting communication create trust between parents and children. Trust is huge through those early year transitions, such as changing from a crib to big bed. We love our children very dearly, most of the time; and most especially when they're content and happy in bed, right?

This toddler bed transition book is a book for both parents and children. It shares 4 of 9 things that parents of twins wish they would know before the transition from a crib to toddler bed. 1. use a comfort item in the new bed that was used in their crib or previous bed, 2. guide them to have the first sleep in the new bed for nap time instead of at bedtime for a less demanded duration expected to be in the new bed initially -- making it a gradual transition and ease the anxiety of being in a different bed at bedtime, and 3. let them choose something for their new bed to involve and excite them in the transition 4. Play a game together measuring their height for a fun activity to help them realistically understand the need for a new big bed.

With language and social development in focus, we join the bloom family in the mountains as they gently transition into big toddler beds for twins Isaac and Lia. Isaac and Lia get included in the transition process with assessing their growth, choosing their new sleep association and comfort item, a stuffed animal, to even getting to help with the process of building the beds. Their parents set a great example by introducing the new beds for nap time to ease or eliminate any anxiety for their upcoming bedtime. Their parents include their current sleep association, a bear stuffed animal, into the new sleep situation for a positive and comforting transition.
