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?

Re: Ensure the health and safety of children
1. How can you ensure sleep and rest practices meet Banjo’s individual needs?
• Children still need time to rest your body and energy levels so they do not get overtired or over stimulated. So even though he isn’t displaying signs of tiredness, he still needs to rest
• To ensure we meet his needs for rest, we could encourage him to engage in some quiet activity like reading/listening to a book or soothing music, lights would already be dimmed and the area kept calm.
2. How could information be shared with his parents about his daily rest or sleep at the service?
• You could share information with his mum Kate, at pickup time about what happened at rest time and about his routine at home. If this is not applicable, a diary could be kept to add any information about Banjo and his day and the centre and parents would be encouraged to update any information into it about his sleep routine.
Hope this helps you,
Corinne
