Did you know that around that nearly half of all children don't sleep well? And what about help for tired parents? Sleep issues are common and parents and carers should never feel alone.
Around 4 in 10 children will experience a sleep problem at some point and this rises to 8 out of 10 children where there is a diagnosis of Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). These problems are typically persistent and do not resolve themselves without intervention.
When we have children, we expect there to be some disrupted nights. Unfortunately for some families, the sleepless nights can continue for months and even years. A child's sleep issues can have an impact on the whole family. Sleep is essential for children's and adults' physical and mental wellbeing. To help parents and carers take steps towards To coincide with National Bed Month which runs in March, The Sleep Charity has created a free brand new children’s sleep eBook in partnership with Dunelm.
