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.
