yes, insomnia in children can often be treated with the right approach. A combination of behavioral changes, such as establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a relaxing sleep environment, and addressing any underlying issues like anxiety or medical conditions, can help improve sleep. A healthcare provider may also recommend specific treatments if necessary.
YES! Its a broad question but it can! Read Richard Ferber's book, Solving my child's sleep problem" as a start and reach out to your PCP or sleep doctor
