Can sleep make your children smarter?
Sleep is just as important as food, drink and safety for children.
Researchers state, that during sleep a child’s brain stores the learning
from the previous day so it can be called up when needed in the future. The
Journal of Pediatrics reports that sleep improves a child’s alertness and
ability to regulate their emotions. The preschool child needs 11-13 hours
of sleep. The school age child ages 6-12 needs approximately 10-11 hours of
sleep. The Adolescent child ages 13-18 needs approximately 9-9 ½ hours of
sleep.
At times, children may have a difficult time going to sleep or staying a
sleep. Here are some helpful types that can assist with bedtime and sleep:
Consistent bed time can create habits which can be helpful for children.
Bedtime rituals – Have a similar sequence of events that signal it is time
to go to bed.
The bedtime ritual may include: bath/shower, tooth brushing, bathroom, and
bedtime story.
No television or gaming system at least an hour before bed. This helps the
brain begin to transition to sleep.
Does sleep make children smarter? Probably not, but it can prepare our
brain so we are ready to learn.
