SUMMARY:Who’s Stealing My Child’s Sleep? Parenting Strategies For Bedtime And Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Multiple factors have been linked to the worsening sleep habits of young people\, including social media\, general smartphone use\, early school start times\, academic stressors\, and a rise in anxiety symptoms.

The struggle is worse during summer holidays when schedules are out the window. \nIn this webinar\, Child Mind Institute and Fort Health tackle sleep; how much is needed for each age group\, why aren’t children getting enough of it\, and how parents can help their children go to sleep and stay asleep. \nWhen: Thursday\, 6/29 | 5:30 p.m. \nRegister \nThe session will be a roundtable discussion between leading sleep and mental health experts followed by a live Q&A. The session will be recorded and links will be sent to anyone who registers. \nPresented by Fort Health\, a mental health provider for ages four to 19\, which was built in partnership with the Child Mind Institute.
