Children need good quality sleep, and they need enough of it – between ten and twelves hours in fact. Their little bodies are working extra hard at learning how to be little humans and it’s exhausting and overwhelming, both physically and mentally. Their brains need the zzz to sort through the happenings of the day and work on their next developmental milestone, while their bodies need the rest so they can grow big and strong. Without good sleep they’ll struggle to concentrate and control their emotions and their physical growth might even be stunted. Teaching your little ones how to sleep and helping them get enough sleep is a truly wonderful gift that enables them to cope much better with their days. Good sleep habits start with a calming bedtime routine – and Sleepy Friends are here to help you get started with that.
