Description
Sleep is integral to children’s health, emotional wellbeing, growing and learning from birth on. Sleep is generally given a lot of consideration in infancy where safe, healthy sleep is imperative. However, sleep for older babies, toddlers and young children is equally as important as the other developmental changes children undergo as they grow. Home sleep practices and environment must be considered to meet individual children’s sleep needs as part of their daily educational program.
This book follows on from the Everyday Learning Series book Infant Sleep and addresses the different requirements for planning and programming for the changes to children’s sleep as they move from infancy into childhood.
In this book you will learn about:
- how cultural differences influence children’s sleep patterns
- how to talk with families about their children’s sleep
- settling strategies to use with toddlers and young children
- sleep challenges and how to handle them.
