Sleep Tips for Children – A Guide for Parents

 Sleep is essential for the development of your child, their behavior, and learning ability. At the Kearns Medical Centre, we recognize the importance of sleep as part of the primary healthcare of your child. Sleep is essential for the development of your child.

Children need different hours of sleep at different ages: between the ages of 3 and 5, they need between 10 and 13 hours of sleep; between the ages of 6 and 13, they need between 9 and 11 hours of sleep; and teenagers need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep.

In order to promote the primary healthcare of your child, it is essential to maintain regular sleeping hours even on weekends. It is also essential to establish a bedtime routine such as taking a shower, brushing teeth, and reading.

Sleep is as important as diet and exercise in the primary healthcare of your child. If your child is having difficulty sleeping, please contact your local GPs.
