Young children grow so quickly, and their exciting developmental leaps bring new sleep needs and challenges. Did you know that according to the National Sleep Foundation, a third of preschoolers wake up a parent every night?
By maintaining your Premium membership, we can guide you through those changes and prevent new issues that commonly arise. Research shows that adequate sleep is incredibly important for brain development, mood, learning, cognitive performance, and more. Investing in good sleep is an investment in your child’s future!
