Case study 5
Banjo is a 2 ½ year old who attends care three days each week. He is becoming increasingly harder to settle after lunch for his sleep.
His mother, Kate, has stated he does not always have a day sleep at home, and that typically he is asleep by 7pm. He sleeps 12 – 13 hours each night.
You have observed during the day Banjo does not tend to display tired signs or cues
1. How can you ensure sleep and rest practices meet Banjo’s individual needs?
2. How could information be shared with his parents about his daily rest or sleep at the service?
