“ A 9-year-old child who takes melatonin?..............why?..............”
So the kid will go to sleep so the parents can get some privacy or sleep?
Possibly, but it sounds more medical..................
I’m think he was wondering why it’s necessary for a 9 year old, as most kids have zero sleep issues.
We used to do this thing back in the day.
We’d play outside until exhausted, then sleep like the dead all night.
They actually make it and market it for kids.
BENADRYL® was the sleep aid of choice for my wife’s kids when they were little ones. Of course only for occasional use.
