This session is designed to help you manage the common sleep problems that arise in young children. It covers the normal pattern of sleep and variation in children aged between 0 and 5 years, and also discusses the range of sleep problems that can occur along with a description of their impact on the family.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe normal sleep and sleep behaviour in young children (0-5 years)
  • Outline the physiological basis for sleep behaviour
  • Recognise the factors that impair or promote the development of sleep routines in children
  • Provide guidance and support for parents of children with common sleeping problems

The importance of good sleep patterns has both an anecdotal and a sound scientific background to support the relationship between sleep and learning and behaviour. Strong associations have been identified with mood, attention and concentration in adults and children.
