PARENT TO PARENT
I'd like to get some suggestions to help my 15 year old daughter who has
great difficulty getting to sleep. This is not a new problem. We have used
guided imagery, changes in schedules, dietary interventions all to no avail. She just cannot get to sleep until 1 a.m. most nights and the older she gets
the more frustrating it is for her, and for us. The most obvious or common suggestions just do not seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Elaine
