Parent Education:
Does Your Child Get Enough Sleep
Why is sleep so important?
Sleep gives the body a chance to repair itself after the activities of the day and gives children opportunity for growth.
How much sleep should a child have?
Children from 4 to 7 need 11-12 hours of sleep every day
Children from 7 to 9 need 10 -11 hours of sleep every day
Children from 9 to 12 need 9-10 hours of sleep every day
A tired child is more nervous and irritable when studying and playing and can’t concentrate on his/her school work.
A well-rested child is cheerful and ready to get up in the morning, is more willing and able to follow instructions and learns more in school. A well-rested child usually has fewer colds and feels more like playing.
