Generally no, particularly for younger children.
Sleep anxiety is a real phenomenon, and children are as susceptible to it as adults. A visible nightly score can create exactly the problem it was meant to measure: a child who worries about sleeping well tends to sleep worse. Adults report the same effect with consumer trackers.
This is one of the arguments for a screen-free band. With no display on the wrist there is no score for the child to check, no number to compete with and nothing to feel judged by. The parent reads the data and decides what, if anything, to change. More in our sleep tracking guide.
