Sleep - A hot topic and often tricky.
A few tips:
Set up a Bedtime routine that is happy and calm.
Be consistent – follow the schedule you have set.
When it is time for sleep, leave the room.
If they get upset, say you will come back and check on them and do check back every ten minutes.
Be boring and don’t engage, and here is a good tip, fold the washing if you stay in the room!
Best tip: start them when they are young, put them into their cot when they are sleepy but not asleep so they learn to self-settle.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
