I am well versed in the different ways anxiety impacts a child’s sleep. My middle child suffers greatly from anxiety, as do I. I am on medication for mine, but that is not a healthy or needed option for my five year old right now. I know it’s up to me to find amazing ways to help her cope, which in turn, helps me as well. Helping her cope helps her sleep better, which as we know, helps her have better performance at school, develop emotionally, and be less likely to act out.
