The Concord Museum is honored to present Dr. Richard Ferber for a lecture and book-signing at The Fenn School (516 Monument Street, Concord) on Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 p.m.

Sleep expert Dr. Ferber explores the latest sleep techniques for babies and young children.

Dr. Ferber is an associate professor of Neurology at the Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children’s Hospital in Boston.

He is currently on the editorial board of the journal Sleep and is an associate editor of Sleep Medicine.

Solve your child’s Sleep Problems by Dr. Richard Ferber will be available for purchase and the lecture will be followed by a book-signing.
Parents, caregivers, and grandparents throughout the ages have struggled with sleep deprivation and sleeping issues in infants and toddlers.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about the often controversially perceived Ferber Method by its’ author.

Often mis-labeled as allowing babies “to cry it out” Dr. Ferber will demystify his approach.

This presentation is in conjunction with two ongoing special exhibits open at the Concord Museum:
Behind Closed Doors: Asleep in New England (open through March 22, 2015) uncovers the complex role sleep has played in everyday life throughout American history.

This theme will be carried beyond the gallery and throughout the Concord Museum’s period rooms where visitors can get a sense of how the objects were employed.

Good Night, Sleep Tight: Art from Children’s Literature (open through May 3, 2015) an exhibition of original children’s book illustrations related to sleep, nighttime, going to bed, dreams, and lullabies.

The exhibition features the art of approximately 20 illustrators.

The work of Tomie dePaola, Salley Mavor, Melissa Sweet, Ilse Plume, Pamela Zagarenski, Beth Krommes, and Peter Reynolds, among others, are on display.

Also included in the exhibition is a Frank Thayer Merrill illustration from the Roberts Brothers 1880 edition of Little Women.
