A huge impact on behaviour
As any parent of a toddler or preschooler knows, lack of sleep can have a huge impact on a child’s behavior. Young children need more sleep than adults, and not getting enough can cause them to be cranky, irritable, and even aggressive. But, on the flip side, getting enough sleep can help improve behavior and make parenting a lot easier.
Regulate moods
Getting enough sleep helps regulate a child’s mood. When a child is sleep-deprived, they are more likely to be irritable, prone to tantrums, and quick to anger. On the other hand, a well-rested child is happier and better able to handle stress.
Help with brain development
Sleep helps a child’s brain development. During sleep, the brain processes and stores information, helping children learn and remember. When a child is well-rested, they are more alert and able to focus on tasks.
Staying healthy
Getting enough sleep helps a child’s body stay healthy. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system, making a child more susceptible to illnesses. Getting enough sleep helps ensure that your child is ready to take on the day with energy and enthusiasm.
Finally, sleep is essential for healthy physical growth and development. During sleep, the body releases essential hormones that help to promote healthy growth.
Without the proper amount of sleep, children will not reach their full potential in terms of physical growth and development.
