Nothing ruins a good night's sleep like a child. Whether you're concerned about your teenager's dark under-eye circles or your toddler is the cause of your own, here are some of the most common sleep issues children have and how we can help them, so everyone is well rested.
Most parents learn the hard way that sleep is terribly underrated. Before you had a kid, sure, you thought you cared about sleep, but it wasn't the most precious, elusive, one-thing-you-would-kill-for activity it becomes after the child is born. At the same time, infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teenagers don't seem to appreciate sleep at all, even though it's critical for their development. While every child is different and we can't cover as much as the entire books written on this subject, we've learned a few lessons over the years and tapped a couple of sleep professionals for advice on this most important subject.
First, watch Samuel L. Jackson read this now-classic bedtime book.
Back? Then lets get these kids to go to sleep already.

-The "What Happened to Your Nap?" Phase: Ages 1 to 6
-The "Ohhhh, Nice to Meet You Again, Sleep" Phase: Ages 7 to 12
-The "Wake Up, Sleepyhead" Phase: Ages 13+
