About the Author

Online expert help for night fear, monster dreams and better sleep for children

Dr Kaylene Henderson, MBBS FRANZCP Cert C&A Psych, is an Australian Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist and mother of three young children. She graduated from Medical School in the 1990’s and since then has helped many children and their families with a range of social and emotional difficulties. Kaylene is a member of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, the Faculty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Australian Medical Association and the Australian Association for Infant Mental Health.

Kaylene developed the first of these personalized stories (in sleep-deprived desperation) when her daughter, then aged three, was experiencing months of frequent monster dreams. Fortunately (for them both), the monster story worked beautifully. In only a week Kaylene’s daughter was free of her monster dreams and both mother and child were sleeping well.

This success inspired Kaylene to write her second story to help children who are scared of the dark - the most common night fear affecting children's sleep. 

With a mother’s knowledge that by helping children sleep better you can help a whole family, Kaylene established Little Children Big Dreams in order to make these stories readily available to other families battling bedtime fears.

Little Children Big Dreams Parenting Blog

Since establishing Little Children Big Dreams, Kaylene has also started her popular parenting blog with a plan to write about a range of topics related to child psychology, psychiatry and child parenting. These topics are requested by parents just like you who wouldn’t otherwise have free access to a Child Psychiatrist. You’re welcome to have a look at previous topics or even ask her a question yourself.
