Keeping Kids Healthy: Sleep Stealers - What’s Keeping Your Child Awake?

Is your school-age child tired during the day – but still a mighty warrior against sleep as bedtime approaches? Why can’t he just go to sleep?!? Today’s typical lifestyles may have something to do with it. Kids are overbooked, overworked, over-stimulated – and all of these factors may actually be making them overtired! But you need to do something about it, because sleep affects every aspect of a child’s physical, emotional, cognitive and social development – and lack of sleep compromises many of the skills that make for success in a child’s life. Join Dr. Winnie King and find out about the “sleep-stealers” that may be robbing your child of a good night’s sleep, and learn what you can do to get some rest for the whole family!
