Health and wellbeing
Sleep is a crucial part of development in the early years, and helps to prepare children for a lifetime of health and wellbeing.
For 1-2 year olds, sleep helps to regulate emotions and provide a sense of security. It also helps to boost their learning and memory.
Managing emotions
When children don’t get enough sleep, they may become irritable, restless, and easily frustrated. This can impact their ability to learn, develop relationships, and cope with stress.
Regulates mood
Adequate sleep also helps to regulate mood, studies have shown that children who get enough sleep are better able to handle their emotions and show more control over their behaviour.
Foster healthy relationships
Sleep also helps to build resilience, as it allows children to process their experiences and develop coping skills. It also helps to foster healthy relationships, as it helps children to better communicate their feelings and needs.
Boosts cognitive development
Finally, getting enough sleep helps to boost cognitive development and can improve mental performance. Studies have shown that even slight disruptions in sleep can have a negative effect on mental performance, so it is important to ensure your child is getting enough sleep.
