"Why Won't They Sleep?" The Hidden Factors Affecting Your Child's Sleep Part 2

Why won’t my kids go to sleep at their bed time?

It doesn’t matter if your child is 2 or 20, every parent in the world will ask themselves this question, because sometimes, even if we stick to the routine, they just won’t settle down and get in bed.

In this episode I continue our discussion around sleep, sharing some of the ways in which overtiredness can impact our kids and what you can do about it. Plus, I explain how things like puberty, technology and other factors have a bigger impact than you might realise.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
