Sleep Tips for Children – Creating Healthy Sleep Habits
A good night’s sleep is important for every child’s growth, learning and emotional health. Here at Appin Medical Centre we know sleep is important for improving children’s focus and behavior, memory, and happiness levels too.
Children need different amounts of sleep depending on their age —
🧒 Ages 3 – 5: 10–13 hours
👦 Ages 6 – 13: 9-11 hours
👧 Ages 14 – 17: 8–10 hours
Here are some simple tips to help your child sleep well:
Stick to a consistent bedtime routine.
Plan relaxing activities such as reading before bed.
Keep the room quiet, dark, and comfortable.
Avoid caffeine, chocolate, or screens an hour before bedtime.
Sleep is how children can be active, clear thinking, and able to contain their emotions properly as well. Providing good sleep habits means setting them up to arrive in a good space, both mentally and physically. https://appinmedical.com.au/
