Some problems are brief and resolve on their own. • When sleep problems persist for more than a few weeks, they may begin to affect a child’s mood, behavior, and relationships in the home and at school. • The value of sleep can be measured by your child's natural energy, smiling face, and happy nature during the daytime.
