23 September is World RLS Day. This year we want to use our activities to raise awareness that children can also suffer from RLS/WED. RLS/WED is a neurological disorder with a genetic component and often runs in families. Like adults, children with RLS tend to relieve their symptoms by moving their legs. Parents or healthcare providers often mistakenly label the child's discomfort as "growing pains". In the classroom, attempts to relieve the discomfort of RLS may be interpreted as inattentiveness, hyperactivity or disruptive behaviour. How common is RLS in children, how is it diagnosed and how is it treated? Learn more in our new video with paediatrician Julian Mollin.
