Does the child or young person need to attend the appointment?
No, families don’t need to bring the child or young person to the appointment, but can do so if they wish for older children to involve them in the design of their sleep plan. Our sleep practitioners work with families and children/young people to discuss their needs and habits and create a personalised sleep plan to be taken away.
What happens during/after an appointment?
At the appointment, we’ll look at some of the factors that affect sleep and look at strategies that can help children or young people to sleep well.
