EP 87: Summer Sleep Struggles & Solutions with Dr. Olivia Kessel
Description
Episode 87
Ever wondered why your neurodiverse child struggles with sleep, especially during the holidays? Join Dr. Olivia Kessel on this week's SEND Parenting Podcast as she unpacks the complexities behind sleep issues in children with ADHD and autism. Learn how regular exercise benefits focus into your child's daily routine and mental health by boosting neurotransmitter levels, and get tips on reducing screen time before bed.
She shares personal stories about her daughter's challenges and also delves into the reasons behind active brains, sensory sensitivities and delayed sleep phase syndrome. You'll gain valuable insights into how physical activity—or the lack thereof during holiday breaks—can disrupt sleep patterns even further.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek into our upcoming discussion on the importance of self-care for parents, because taking care of yourself is just as crucial as caring for your neurodiverse child.
