Don’t Ignore the Snore: Kids, Sleep, and Hidden Health Red Flags 🚩 Sleep Disordered Breathing with David McIntosh

Snoring in kids is often brushed off as “cute” or “normal” - but did you know it can actually be a hidden red flag for serious health issues? In this episode of Thriving Parenting, we’re joined by paediatric ENT surgeon and sleep expert Dr. David McIntosh to unpack the truth about sleep disordered breathing in children.

We dive into:

• Why snoring is never just harmless noise in kids
• The link between sleep disordered breathing and behaviour, focus, and growth
• How to spot early warning signs parents often miss
• Practical steps to seek help and treatment

If your child snores, mouth breathes, or struggles with restless sleep, this conversation is a must-listen. Learn how early intervention can make a life-changing difference to your child’s wellbeing, development, and future health.
