A letter from Katherine Hamill

Dear Principal,
Can you believe school is two weeks away!!! My name is Katherine Greene, and I am the owner of ‘A2zzz Child Sleep Consultant’, located in Lurgan. I have my OCN in the Child Sleep Consultant qualification.
As a Child Sleep Consultant, I receive daily questions from parents, the most recent of which is about their child returning to school and establishing a routine. This has prompted me to offer a free ‘5-Day Back-to-School Sleep Challenge’.
As well as a disrupted routine from summer, another difficulty for children, can be the many inevitable changes, such as changing school, leaving behind trusted friends and the long absence from school caused by Covid 19 regulations.
I have devised a free 5-day email programme, to detail the tips and tools for settling everyone back into the proper school routine. The free ‘5-Day Back-to-School Sleep Challenge is to help raise awareness of all the positive aspects a child will receive from a restorative night of good sleep.
When a parent signs up to the free ‘5-day Back-to-School Sleep Challenge’, starting Monday August 23rd. I will send a downloadable sleep monitoring chart and evening routine cards before the challenge starts. The chart will help set the child’s bedtime routine, with specific ‘lights out’, etc steps. If possible, the child should be let tick off each task, as it will give them a sense of accomplishment and pride. Obviously, a small reward can also be offered for success. In addition, the sleep monitoring chart can be replicated and used over and over, to help increase a child’s confidence.
What I am asking you to do is please share the attachments, I have attached both a photo and social media post version for however you communicate with parents, be it through your school website, email, Facebook, or Instagram. By helping to share my information ‘A2zzz Child Sleep Consultant’, I in turn will not only be helping your pupils but also the teachers in the coming weeks as it will help to focus your pupils sleep needs as the school year starts and in turn help them focus better in class.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email,
Katherine Greene
