Development, emotional regulation and gentler alternatives to rigid routines shape Sarah Ockwell-Smith’s parenting guides. The Gentle Sleep Book discusses infant and child sleep without relying on controlled crying, while The Gentle Parenting Book applies similar principles to behaviour, boundaries and family relationships.
