Description

It’s not just fatigue and decreased energy. Sleep deprivation can have serious negative effects on kids’ behavior, performance, and relationships.

It can show up as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity … poor grades … irritability and argumentativeness … conflict with siblings and friends … mood and anxiety symptoms … lack of energy for sports and other activities.

Miss a sleep disorder and you may misdiagnose your client. If you don’t address sleep, you’ll be unlikely to shift your clients into the relief they deserve – leaving them exhausted and struggling.

Watch Catherine Darley, ND, a leader in integrative sleep medicine who has helped people of all ages sleep well without medication, in this dynamic 1-day seminar designed to help you:

• Customize an ideal sleep environment for children and teens
• Get accurate and useful sleep diaries to plan treatment
• Transition kids between awake and asleep using wind-down activities, light exposure, and cognitive strategies
• Include the family in treatment, and weigh in on issues like sleep training strategies and co-sleeping arrangements
• And much more!

Purchase today to get the skills you need to make your treatment plans more effective and get the kids in your practice the rest they need!
