Sleep Tips for Children

An ELSA asked me for some Sleep Tips for children. We do have a more extensive list  here in our sleepy mobile

These sleep tips for children are great to give to a child who might be struggling to sleep. Setting a bedtime and sticking to it is key along with a good bedtime routine.

Getting enough sleep is crucial for children’s development. We all know how much better we feel after a good night’s sleep. Children can struggle with sleeping for many reasons from watching scary movies, overthinking, worrying, drinking caffeinated drinks and not having a good routine. These tips are simple and hopefully will help.

If you are ever worried about your child’s sleep issues please do contact your GP for advice.
