Does Your Child...
- Snore regularly at night?
- Sleep with their mouth open?
- Toss and turn throughout the night?
- Wake tired despite getting enough hours of sleep?
- Struggle with concentration, focus or learning?
- Experience behavioural challenges, irritability or emotional outbursts?
- Frequently wake during the night?
- Grind their teeth while sleeping?
- Have persistent congestion or noisy breathing?
- Seem constantly tired or lacking energy?
Many parents are surprised to learn that these symptoms may not simply be a phase, nor are they always something children will "grow out of."
In some cases, they can be signs of sleep-disordered breathing, a condition that may impact a child's growth, development, learning, behaviour and long-term health.
The good news is that early recognition and appropriate intervention can make a significant difference.

Sleep is one of the most important foundations of childhood health.
When children sleep well, they are better able to learn, regulate emotions, grow, recover and thrive.
However, many children experience sleep and breathing challenges that often go unnoticed because parents simply don't know what to look for.
In this informative webinar, you'll learn how sleep, breathing, oral development, nutrition and lifestyle factors all work together to support healthy childhood development.
