Sleep is essential in enabling us to function well in our daily life 😴 A good sleep pattern and quality sleep is important in enabling children to participate fully in school and family life. Often children’s senses are over-stimulated and they can find it hard to regulate themselves to be calm enough to fall asleep. Each home environment and routine will be different, but here are some tips which consider the impact of the senses when we are trying to go to sleep 🛏

1. Aim for a consistent bedtime
2. Create a quiet environment – bedrooms should be as un-stimulating on the senses as possible so keep them quiet, dark, uncluttered and at a middle temperature
3. Turn off electronic devices – research shows that blue light from screens stimulates our brains
4. Try some calming activities – some children enjoy warm baths for others this is over-stimulating or stressful so try to find a quiet activity your child enjoys. Perhaps a puzzle, or time reading a book?
5. Deep pressure – some children find deep pressure helps. This could be a massage or tight squeezy cuddles or even being rolled up tight in the blanket. You could try other heavy work activities such as carrying a laundry basket or wringing out their face cloth. These types of activities stimulate our proprioceptive (body awareness) system and is known to have a calming effect on our brains

Today marks the start of National Adult Support and Protection Week 2026, with ASP Day coming up this Friday 20th February.

It’s an annual reminder that protecting adults at risk is everyone’s business. Vulnerable adults can be subjected to physical, financial, sexual and psychological abuse as well as other types of harm including neglect, self-harm and self-neglect when people struggle to look after themselves.

If you live in Perth and Kinross, and have concerns for yourself or someone you know, please contact our Access Team on 0345 301 1120 or email AccessTeam@pkc.gov.uk, or report it to NHS Tayside or Police Scotland.

Raising a teen can be a challenge. It’s not unusual for teens to feel anxious, to have mood swings and to feel isolated.

Sometimes they don’t even know why they’re feeling or acting the way they do, which makes it all the harder to understand what they’re going through. But there are things you can do to help 💜
