Why kids' sleep matters
On this episode we’re joined by Ariel Williamson, a licensed psychologist & assistant professor at The Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health and The Department of Psychology, to explore how children’s sleep habits affect their emotional well-being, behavior, and learning. Williamson discusses why sleep is foundational for kids’ health, how families can recognize when sleep routines are off track, and shares practical strategies to help children get the rest they need—especially during the back-to-school transition.
