Brief Answer:
natural sleep is recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

All herbal teas that can induce sleep are not recommended for children.They should have a natural sleep to be healthy.
For more SleepyTime tea can contain some ingredients like menthol that should be avoided in children.

Another problem is that your child may get used to sleep with the help of sedative tea and it may be difficult after to sleep without it.Using chamomile tea occasionally won't cause any problem but not regularly.

So the best thing is to try to regulate his schedule of sleep and wake up (go to bed early and wake him up early in the morning) for some days until he is adapted again.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubts to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
