We all know how it feels to not get enough sleep. We’re grumpy, irritable and simply not our best selves. As an adult it’s easy to describe, but what about when kids don’t get enough sleep?  In this episode, host Dr Anthea Rhodes is joined by clinical psychologist Dr Matt Bisset to unpack the powerful link between sleep, emotions, and behaviour in children. 

Learn how sleep needs change across childhood, the signs that tiredness may be driving behavioural challenges, and practical strategies parents can use to support healthy sleep routines and calmer days.
