I've been using pure lavender oil in massage, baths & in the bedroom, with N now for a few years, and it definitely works. In fact, she is wanting a lavender plant for her room, so she can rub the leaves cause she loves the smell 
another good oil for children, which calms them down is chamomile, but that is much more expensive to buy. N loves chamomile tea, so I let her have a drink before bed
