I received the below mentioned product as part of the US Family Guide blogger program. Any opinions expressed are my own.
Do you have trouble getting your child to sleep through the night? Do they have a fear of the dark? Do they wake easy? Dream Team Pets may look like a cute and soft stuffed animal that comes with a book but it’s really a sleep training tool.
My youngest son has his own room. His older brothers share a room because it’s a much bigger room. My youngest son used to be good about going to bed in his own room. Then they got into this “sleepover” thing where he’d want to sleep in their room. I would let him about once a week but after a while he wanted to more and more. I decided it wasn’t good because he needed to learn to sleep in his own bed. The one day he told me he was “scared” in his room by himself which he had never said to me before. I wasn’t sure if it was an excuse for a sleep over or if it was the truth.
When I was a little girl, I used to be afraid of the dark. My dad used to line stuffed animals up around our bed and tell us (my sister and I) that they would protect us. It worked for the most part. I wasn’t really sure how a Dream Team Pet would do much better than a regular stuffed animal.
The idea of a the Dream Team Pet is that they are “trained” to protect kids from nightmares and things. The book tells about what they do and what your child has to do to protect them and make sure they have a good night sleep. There’s a little pledge they do each night to remind “their pet” of what they are supposed to do. Each pet comes with a certificate. When your child is able to sleep through the night without nightmares they get to put a sticker on the Dream Team Pet’s certificate of training. Once they get 7 days in a row, your child’s pet is officially trained. If your child does have a nightmare or doesn’t stay in bed your child will know their Dream Team Pet still needs training. The responsibility is put on the Dream Team Pet rather than your child feeling like they did it.
My son got Mighty Lion to review. He was soft to touch but firm enough for a good squeeze or cuddle. Also able to sit up well to “guard” his bed..that’s what we did anyway.
At first I don’t think my son was that into it. I mean, he liked having a new stuff animal to cuddle but the routine of reading the book each night and then getting to put the sticker on the Dream Team Pet’s certificate is what really got him into it I think. We talked about it . I’d ask him if his Dream Team Pet did a good job helping him sleep and he’d say yes. This would make a great gift for a child that could use some help sleeping at night.
