😴 Sleep Matters – Supporting Children & Families

Good sleep is essential for children’s health, wellbeing, and development. Poor sleep can impact mood, behaviour, and learning.

As we continue through March, we’re highlighting the importance of healthy sleep routines for children and young people.

💤 Try:
• A consistent bedtime routine
• Limiting screen time before bed
• Creating a calm sleep environment

If you’re worried about your child’s sleep, your School Nursing team is here to help. Please look at the following:

Supporting people across all ages to improve sleep, and provides sleep training to professionals in the health, social and corporate sectors.
