This is in a questionnaire for parents to answer questions about the behavior of their child. In this section they are specifically asking how the child shows signs of fatigue and this is one of the things parents need to check if it applies to their child. Thanks in advance for your ideas!

extenuación/fatiga extrema (ansioso/hiperactivo/atontado)


Explanation:
After all, what is the definition of sleep problems in a toddler?" asks Antoine. "Let's say a mother has sleep problems of her own. Let's say she's not very sophisticated about children, doesn't understand child development very well, has problems herself that make her impatient. Also, is the child being fed properly? Is there an anxiety disorder, nightmares, fear of the dark? Is the child hyperactive, so wired that he's not able to settle down?"
