Sleep deprivation can cause a wide variety of challenges for both parent and child. By addressing the importance of sleep at school we set the example for extending good health practices into the home. Sleep issues often arise from what we do or do not do during the day. The foundation for healthy sleep habits involves understanding how physical needs, developmental factors such as milestones, social factors, emotional needs, as well as environment, play a part in its success. Consistency being the driver behind it all. Children thrive with routine. It is how they learn, through repetition and consistency. Although outside factors can cause ripples in sleep patterns and pose challenges along the way, a strong, consistent sleep plan will help set the tone and positive relationship with sleep as they grow and develop. Routine helps children learn self-control, guide positive behavior, support social skills, cope with transitions and serve as a connector for parent-and-child bonding.
We offer interactive activity based workshops and presentations for staff and/or the student body population to educate on the importance of sleep, good hygiene practices and the role it plays in development and as we age. We also address the most common medical sleep disorders in the younger generation and strategies for coping with sleep challenges as they relate to disabilities or other medical issues. If you are interested in having us speak at your school or organization, please contact us to learn more.
