Why Your Child Won’t Go to Sleep

Show Notes

Is bedtime the hardest part of your day? If every night feels like a negotiation, your child may have what pediatricians call Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood - one of the most common sleep problems that most parents have never heard of.

In this episode, Dr. Wendy explains why some children can't fall asleep without a parent in the room, while others seem determined to delay bedtime at all costs. You'll learn the simple science behind why consistency works, why bedtime often gets worse before it gets better, and practical strategies you can start using tonight to help everyone get more sleep.
