In our 138th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Harriet Hiscock. Harriet is a professor, pediatrician and sleep expert and we chat to her all about why our kids (ages 3 – 8 years) may be having sleep issue.
- What are some common issues that may affect a child’s sleep?
- What’s the science behind Harriet’s books?
- Is sleep a skill that needs to be taught over and over again?
- When should kids be sleeping through the night? Or is it very normal for everyone to wake up during the night?
- How common is frequent night waking? And why does this occur?
- Teeth grinding? Is it common, why do kids do it and is it an issue?
- Is bed wetting common and why does it happen?
- How can we support a child who sleepwalks and talks?
- What’s the difference between nightmare and night terrors?
- Why do some kids have trouble waking in the morning/after a nap?
- If a child is over the age of five and is struggling to stay away during the day is that a sign that there might be something else going on?
- How do we know if our child has behavioural sleep issues or medical sleep issues?
- And SO MUCH MORE!
