Has trouble sleeping
Why it happens: Some sleep problems after an injury are a temporary reaction to disruptions in your child’s schedule and routines. But sleep problems can be made worse by pain from the injury, or by worries and thoughts that make it hard to relax.
Is this a problem?: Is your child having a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep many nights? Is your child afraid to sleep alone?
