Sundowning?

[Adele_Michal7]

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the term "sundowning."

Has anyone observed this phenomenon in the pediatric home care population? Is that possible? I know it's more commonly associated with Alzheimer's patients.

Ouch! The obvious. Many reasons for childhood dementia. Terrible reasons. I'm going to have to say no to sundowning in pediatric cases, though. Final answer.
