For parents

Have you noticed any of these patterns?

Any one of these can have many explanations. This evening is about helping parents understand when several signs may be worth considering together.

  • Snoring
  • Mouth breathing
  • Restless or disrupted sleep
  • Frequent waking
  • Teeth grinding
  • Bedwetting
  • Difficulty focusing
  • Speech concerns
  • Behavioral or emotional concerns

These signs do not diagnose a condition. They can simply be useful observations to bring into a thoughtful conversation.
