Insomnia in children can be caused by poor sleep habits, stress, medical conditions, diet, medications, or sleep disorders.

Treatment includes maintaining a consistent sleep routine, limiting screen time, ensuring a healthy diet and exercise, managing stress, and seeking medical advice if needed.
Its a broad question but it can! Read Richard Ferber's book, Solving my child's sleep problem" as a start and reach out to your PCP or sleep doctor
