Lessons from the Playroom Special: Jessica Schaffer: Understanding Sleep Issues in Children
Original Air Date: April 15, 2018
Lisa Dion is joined by Jessica Schaffer, Registered Play Therapist, Certified Synergetic Play Therapist and Certified Sleep Consultant to help us understand sleep issues for children.
From the refusal to go to sleep to an inability to stay asleep, a child's tossing and turning speak volumes. But why do some children want to ban the bed? And how does this look inside the playroom? A play therapist who also happens to be a sleep specialist helps us uncover the answers.
"Sleep is the largest separation we go through everyday." - Jessica Schaffer, RPT, Infant Sleep Specialist
