The manual, Beginning Rhythms: The Emerging Process of Sleep/Wake Behavior and Self-Regulation provides information and strategies that health care professionals and caregivers can use to promote predictable behaviors in babies and toddlers through activities and routines, while explaining the importance of promoting self-regulation. Important issues such as mutual regulation, what it is and why it's important, the Sleep Gate, infant states, and sleep cues are also covered.

The Sleep/Activity Record (SAR) is used to record behaviors in the everyday life of the pregnant woman or young child. It provides accurate data about an infant's eating, sleeping, or crying behavior. The SAR is a comprehensive and easy to use method for recording activities on a 24-hour/7-day record, which makes understanding infants' behavior much easier. (100/Pad)
