Question

A five-year-old child is unable to nap at kindergarten during the day and tosses and turns in bed for over an hour at night before being able to fall asleep. What should be done?

Answer

Sleep difficulties in children are often caused by psychological factors. As children grow older, they may start to fear the dark. Parents should provide more companionship and care to their children, and understand if there are issues of psychological stress, so that timely psychological adjustment can be made.
