A Guide To GP Appointments For Your Child’s Sleep and Breathing
Walk into your child’s GP appointment feeling prepared and confident.
✔ Understand key sleep and breathing concerns
✔ Spot red flags (like mouth breathing or snoring)
✔ Speak your GP’s language
✔ Walk away with referrals, not frustration
Your child's sleep and breathing are too important to be overlooked. Let's make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Too many children’s sleep and breathing issues get missed in busy clinics.
I created this guide so you won’t have to leave your child’s health to chance. The reality is: to get the support your child needs, you often have to lead the conversation.
That means having a basic understanding of sleep, breathing, and the signs to look out for, so you can speak with clarity and confidence when it matters most.
Be the calm, informed advocate your child needs.
"I jumped on the GP guide as soon as it came out and it is SO GOOD. It’s easy to digest, it’s got all the points and info you need to know coming into your appt, and I have no doubt that if I was going to go to my GP to advocate for further investigation that I could whip this out and point to any section and walk out of there with a referral. Thank you!"
"Every parent who has concerns about their child’s sleep or breathing needs this resource. I’ve been #blessed to have two kids with humongous tonsils requiring surgery.
Navigating the GP process isn’t easy. Especially when you don’t have the knowledge you need to advocate for your child. The GP guide teaches you the fundamentals of sleep + breathing. Lays out what information you need to present to your GP so they can provide your child with the care they need . It’s easy to read without being too technical. No brainer really!"
"Your GP Guide got us an ENT appointment! Thank you!!"
Communicating your concerns with a GP (who is super busy too) can seem impossible. But there's hope...
After you've read The GP Guide and filled out your Symptom Tracker, you'll walk into your GP's office confidently and with a plan. You'll quickly and effectively provide them with the information they need to give your child the best care, including those hard-to-get referrals.
