Some natural ideas for you would be to limit your child's sugar intake throughout the day. Trust me, it makes a BIG difference in your child's focus and energy levels. I always know when my daycare lady has given my son a cookie for a snack since he's usually bouncing off the walls and his mind is very scattered for the rest of the day. Another idea to add is to limit your child's afternoon nap or maybe even do away with it all together. Couple all that with a nice warm bath just before bedtime, add some lavender oil if you want for an extra soothing effect. By implementing these ideas you won't even have to give your child anything but a little extra attention to their diet and time for their wellbeing, and best of all it's free of charge (unless you decide to buy the lavender essential oil, which is a minimal cost)!!
Oh, one more thing. Try adding massage to your child's bedtime routine. Grapeseed oil is perfect for young skin and you can find it at your local health food store, or you could just use lotion. I try to sqeeze in massage after my kids' baths as I would lotion their dry skin and then get their jammies on.
Chiropractic can help with sleep issues as well. One is never too young to be adjusted. My kids have been getting adjusted since they were newborns, as well as massaged, and they've NEVER had sleep issues.Health Question & Answer

Children have different chemistry than adults. Do not give them drugs, especially so called "natural remedies" which are untested and often unsafe for young children. Play with your child during the day and make sure that they don't nap too late and all toddlers will fall straight to sleep. Save the mythical medicines for adults who can choose for themselves to take the risk.Health Question & Answer
Here in the middle east we have a saying, "If it can't hurt, it can't help". Yes, there are herbs that are safe for use in children but NEVER assume that because something is natural it means that it cannot ever do harm. Anything that works does so because it has a specific chemical effect on the body and if used improperly can cause damage.
Now to your question. You must get to the root of why your toddler is not sleeping well. Is he/she eating enough.? active enough during the day.? Is something causing him/her to be uncomfortable in bed, such as stuffy nose or cough from allergies to something.? It is not wise to just treat the symptom in this case -- you must get to the root cause and solve it. Health Question & Answer

I suggest you go to a naturopath or homoeopath. They can make up an appropriate and safe remedy if required and help you to find out the cause, and treat it accordingly as suggested in the previous answer.
