Nothing can be more frustrating to parents and disruptive to families than their child’s sleep difficulties. There is no one solution for a good night’s sleep. This talk will help you understand sleep and begin to find ways to address common sleep problems including difficulty falling asleep, waking up during the night, fears and nightmares.
Q & A to follow.
