Title: Sleep Advice Every New Parent Needs to Hear

The Lesson: Sleep is incredibly important for everyday health, and missing out on a good night's rest can be detrimental to your wellbeing. If your baby or toddler is preventing you from sleeping, then you need to teach them how to let you rest. While it may be difficult at first, you can train your kids to learn their limitations by setting up a simple structure.

Notable Excerpt: "You got two choices: you can either accept that this is what you want, this is how you want to parent, and you love it too, even though you're exhausted all day long … or, you gotta get serious about teaching your son or daughter how to sleep through the night."

The Speaker: Mel Robbins is an American author, life coach, inspirational speaker, and CNN commentator who has specialized in motivating the masses with her 5-second rule. In addition to making appearances on Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Oprah, The Today Show and Fox News, she has also delivered the wildly popular TEDX Talk "How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over".

Books: Robbins is the author of "The 5-Second Rule", a book on how to take control of your life, business, and career by simply counting to 5, and "Stop Saying You're Fine", a no-BS guide to overcoming your personal challenges and getting what you want.
