*Q. Your method is quite different from anything that is recommended in the United States. Did you learn of this method from someone else or did you come up with it yourself?
*A. I developed GNS in close collaboration with the children, based on real circumstances. It was my mission to help them get uninterrupted sleep all through the night. No one before me has understood the meaning of the safety aspect, the physical and actual security, which is crucial. When I found that out and could communicate that security through various techniques, it became obvious to me that all children want to sleep at night, just like any other human being of flesh and blood. The myth that little children don’t “need” or “can” or “want” to sleep all through the night is one that I dismantle in this book. It’s easy to tell others what to do, but do it yourself instead and see if it works or not, and try to understand WHY. The theories should evolve from the baby, not from the desk.*
