“How do I help my child who is having trouble sleeping?”

First, let her verbalize her thoughts about what is going on as much as possible. Discipline her routine of bedtime and wake-up time without electronics is of utmost importance. I treat my patients at this age individually because there are so many variables in every child's case of insomnia. I use Richard Ferber's principles in his book "Solving Your Child's Sleep Problems" as a foundation in my counseling. It is rare that I would recommend any medications at that age, maybe low dose melatonin but usually work on Ferber's principles the majority of the time.

Hello

You can try a quiet environment and Benadryl, as it is an antihistamine and works as a sedative. Feel better.
