Product Description:

The Excuse-Me Drill (EMD) is designed to reduce bedtime problems and frequent night-time awakenings in young children. The procedure combines the complementary forces of extinction and reinforcement to teach young children the key skill of independent sleep initiation. The protocol relies heavily on parents' most salient reinforce, their own presence and attention, to address problematic child behaviors such as bedtime tantrums, frequent requests ("curtain calls"), and coming out of the bedroom.
