Poor sleep can affect your child's mood, memory, learning, and even behavior so creating and maintaining a healthy sleep routine is key. You can establish this by sticking to a normal bedtime, creating a calming night-time routine, and being sure the sleep environment is quiet, dark, and comfortable. Decreasing screen time at least one hour before bed is also important and avoiding stimulants (such as caffeine or chocolate) prior to bed can also make a difference.
Establishing a good sleep routine for your child can set the stage for their health and well-being for the rest of their lives.
