As every parent knows, getting your kids to sleep can be difficult. As parents we worry because we know it affects their mood and behaviour, either in school, at  home or when socializing with other kids. Sleep also impacts on their development at all levels – physical, mental and emotional.

The good news is that with just a few small adjustments every night you can soon empower them to have healthy sleep habits. The key is not to overwhelm them by implementing total radical changes and expect them to embrace all of them at once. Another important aspect is to celebrate wins.
