Funding Amount
$57,760.00
Summary
Nearly 20% of Australian parents report a problem with their preschool child's sleep. Child sleep problems are associated with an increased risk of child behaviour problems, poorer quality of life, and likelihood of a child being diagnosed with ADHD. We want to know if an education program for parents of prep children can reduce child sleep problems. It may represent a feasible way of reducing behaviour problems, improving quality of life and academic performance in these crucial years.
