It isn’t unusual for kids to go through a phase where they have difficulty getting to sleep and/or staying asleep. Guided meditations can be very helpful. In addition to helping children fall asleep, they can also help children become calmer in general as well as learn positive coping techniques. These aren’t hypnosis or any sort of dangerous techniques. They’re simply ways to help children relax into sleep.
If you’re concerned about the term “meditation,” you don’t need to be with any meditations I share. Meditation doesn’t need to have anything to do with religion or any kind of dogma.
Also see my post with free guided meditations for kids {mindfulness resources} for many other guided meditations for kids. Although those aren’t specifically designed for sleep, they’re very relaxing and can often promote deep sleep as well.
For meditations that are specifically designed for Christian kids, see my free guided Christian meditations for kids.
