Family Engagement: Healthy Sleeping Habits
Establishing bed time routines can be tough, but try some of these helpful tips to encourage healthy sleep habits:
✦ Sleep Duration: When does your child need to wake up each day? Do they nap? Most children start to phase out of nap by age 6. We encourage children to nap at school by playing soft music with the lights dimmed. Most children sleep better at nap when they have a similar comfort toy for both bedtime and nap time. We just ask that the item is small enough it can fit in our XL zip lock bag and does not make noise or could be a distraction.
✦ Establish Consistent Sleep time and Wake up routines: Avoid screen time such as TV or iPad use right before bedtime. Try reading books or converse with your child about their day or storytelling. Whatever you choose to do with your child, make it consistent. The consistency will help prepare their internal clock for sleep!
✦Communicate with Caregivers: Sometimes we have to work at bedtime or cannot be active in this role physically. Another way to be part of your child’s routine is to communicate your wants with other caregivers. Sharing your strategies with the caregivers in your child’s life will help create consistency and establish routine.
