Sleep Tips for Children Introduction: How to establish good sleep behavior in children.

Good sleeping is important for the child’s physical growth, emotional well-being, and learning ability. Well-sleeping children are happier, more focused, and better able to regulate their behavior during the day. Instill good sleep habits early, and it will make all the difference in their lifetime.

Establish a regular bedtime routine, including simple activities such as a warm bath, reading, or soft music, to let the body know it’s time to go to sleep. Have your child go to bed and wake up at approximately the same time each day, even on the weekends. Try to avoid screen time for at least an hour before bedtime because the blue light from devices can interfere with natural sleep hormones.

Equally critical is a comfortable sleep environment. Keep the bedroom quiet, cool, and dimly lit. Encourage regular physical activity during the day but put a stop to energetic play close to bedtime.
