Sleep problems in children and adolescents are very common and
often the cause of concern and distress for both the child and the
family. They can affect behaviour, learning and sometimes physical
health. There are many possible causes for sleep problems, some
psychological, others physical, and this book will help you to
identify and explain problems in your own child, leading you to the
appropriate advice or treatment as necessary.
The book starts by explaining the importance and nature of sleep
and the changes that occur as your child grows up. It then
describes why children may not sleep well at different ages from
babyhood to adolescence, the causes of being excessively sleepy
during the day, and the types of unusual behaviours or experiences
that a child can have at night. The various types of treatment
needed for these problems are explained.
The later chapters discuss those children who are especially
liable to have sleep problems, the ways in which sleep problems may
be mistaken for other conditions, the ways in which unsatisfactory
sleep can be spotted at home and at school, and how to get help for
your child's disturbed sleep.
Throughout the book, cases are described to illustrate how
children with various sleep disorders have been correctly diagnosed
and treated. The book is intended to raise awareness of the
importance of children's sleep disorders, as well as their
recognition and treatment. It is written mainly for parents but
will also be of interest to anyone involved in the care and welfare
of children.
