## Resource

What if many of the struggles we see in children—attention issues, behavioral challenges, learning difficulties, emotional regulation problems, and even poor academic performance—are actually symptoms of disrupted sleep and airway dysfunction? In this fascinating episode, Dr. Stacy Becker sits down with sleep scientist and educator Brooke Quinn, RPSGT, MSc, founder of Quinnspired and creator of the children's book series The Adventures of Watson and Sherlock.Brooke shares her unique journey from sleep technician to interdisciplinary sleep scientist and discusses why so many health conversations happen too late—after years of symptoms have already impacted a child's development. Together, Dr. Becker and Brooke explore: • The connection between sleep, airway development, and neurocognitive growth • Why adult sleep apnea often begins in childhood • The overlooked role of craniofacial development • ADHD, learning challenges, and sleep-disordered breathing • Why schools may be one of the most important places for sleep education • How dentists can help identify children at risk • The concept of "body literacy" and empowering children to understand their own health • The importance of moving healthcare conversations upstreamThis episode is a powerful discussion about prevention, education, and changing the trajectory of children's health before symptoms become lifelong problems.
