Rebecca Linney is a mompreneur authoring her first children’s book after struggling to find a way to get her young son to sleep in his own bed throughout the night. Rebecca inspires other struggling and tired parents to appeal to their child’s sense of empathy and desire to grow up.
As soon as our interview ended, I ordered a signed copy of her book for my youngest, Kellen, who is five and still was not loving to sleep through the night. Well, let me tell you that he adored the book, and every morning asks me if he has grown.
“Mom, I think my hands are bigger,” he told me one morning this week after sleeping all night. Y’all, this trick WORKS. I can’t wait to share with you Rebecca and her book The Growing Bed.
