Sleep medications are generally not recommended for children unless prescribed by a doctor. Behavioral changes, a consistent bedtime routine, and addressing underlying causes (anxiety, screen time, or medical issues) are the first steps. If sleep issues persist, consult a pediatrician before considering any medication.
