do you struggle getting your kids to bed? there's a book that's gaining national attention for its methods on getting kids to fall asleep... its not a how-to... or a list of tips on what not to do... instead its a story written in a style to make your child ready for a night's

look... and puts the promise to the test. nats "do you think a book could cure all your night time troubles? no, i'm doubtful" danielle and kertis weatherby say for their two kids...5 year old josh and 4 year old jillian..bed time isn't always easy... nats "jillian has never been a sound sleeper, she's up a couple times a night, usually comes into our room once or twice and it's incredibly disruptive, we wake up we've got to get her back to sleep, it's a whole production, and we would be delighted if she just stayed asleep all night long and we could all get a good nights sleep" we decided to set up hidden cameras..and follow josh and jillian through their night time routine of brushing teeth and story time...this time...with the sleepy book...nats for over 20 minutes...danielle and kertis read -the rabbit who wants to fall asleep to josh and jillian

"we thought it worked with one of our children and did not work our second child" danielle says the repetition of the book... as well as how long it took to read worked for the kids...but saying their names throughout the story, as the book instructed, was not productive... "our kids ended up competing as to whose name was said more times and so they turned that into a competitive game which didn't help them fall asleep" but danielle says...the rhythm of the book was definitely working on her... "i was reading the book start to finish and i think about 4 or 5 pages in and i literally thought i was going to fall asleep i had to regain my composure so i could finish the

the author warns in the instructions to use the book with caution...and never read it aloud to someone who is driving. the weatherby's say the biggest problem the book didn't address is staying asleep...jillian woke up several times throughout the night... but they say they're willing to try to read the book again, with a few minor adjustments...like having the kids lay down while the book is being read... the rabbit who wants to fall asleep - was first published in sweden in 20-10... it was printed in english and distributed in the states in 20-14... you can find the book for purchase online or in stores like barnes and

humans. of course, those cars are still years away from actually going on sale. you might want to start calling it hot dog king. burger king's newest menu item takes a bit of a left turn. the fast food franchise will start serving hot dogs later this month. one executive called it the biggest launch since the 1970s, when the company introduced its first chicken sandwich. burger king will serve two versions: a classic grilled dog and a chili- cheese dog. the franchise started experimenting with hot dogs in five cities last year and has decided to take the menu item nationwide. there's still much more to come in the next half-hour... just ahead -- gloom and doom.. the chair of the federal reserve paints a dismal picture for the global economy.. her assessment.

mcgurk says "at one point with more than 30000 foreign fighters from 120 countries across the world so we acted and we acted aggressively and we are now beginning to see results." but isis isn't the only terrorist group the u-s is focused on. the taliban is making a comeback in afghanistan, specifically in the helmand province where the afghan army and police are on the brink of collapse. in response the u-s is sending an infantry battalion, roughly 500 soldiers to the area. it will be the largest deployment of american troops outside major bases in afghanistan since the end of the nato combat mission in 20-14. the pentagon maintains the soldiers will be retraining, re- equipping and advising while afghan soldiers lead combat missions. herridge says : "the number of american troops in afghanistan was supposed to fall to this year." that drawdown now appears to be in doubt advocate for a larger u-s presence. in washington, catherine herridge,

industry has been reeling from new regulations in recent years. morrisey says: "this administration time after time has extended executive actions in a manner that violate the statutes and the constitution." but the obama administration says it's going ahead with its plans to curb emissions... and says it can still meet its commitments under the recently-signed paris climate change agreement... pointing to increased support among democrats on capitol hill. johnson says: "the notion that federal regulations are not necessary because private industry would never harm the health or financial interest of the public is simply false." a federal appeals court is expected to hear oral arguments in the underlying case on june second... a ruling isn't expected until weeks - possibly months later. in washington, shannon bream, fox news after the ferguson city council voted to amend an agreement with the justice department.... attorney general loretta lynch announced today that the
