Description

From crying babies to tech-obsessed teenagers, kids aren't always ready for sleep at bedtime. Yet kids need more sleep than adults, and sleep deficiencies are core to many childhood health issues. Even when they lie down at a decent hour, many kids struggle to find deep rest because of anxiety, sleep-onset disorder, nightmares, sleep apnea, or other conditions. Learn successful bedtime strategies for kids of all ages and how to support children in building behavioral health habits.
