“Children are like buds on a branch; knowing how to eat, sleep, and learn is being good.” Good sleep is the foundation for a child’s comprehensive development, especially in the preschool stage. So, how can we best care for our little ones’ sleep? Let’s explore with “TUỔI THƠ”! Similar to air-conditioned beds for preschools, ensuring good sleep for children is very important.
The Importance of Sleep for Preschoolers
Sleep not only helps children regain energy after a long day of activities but also plays a crucial role in brain development, boosting the immune system, and stabilizing mood. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert at Hoa Sen kindergarten, shares in her book ‘Raising Healthy Preschoolers’: “Good sleep helps children develop their brains, strengthen their immune systems, and stabilize their mood.” Sleep deprivation can make children fussy, irritable, and have difficulty concentrating, affecting their learning and play.
Tips for Better Toddler Sleep
Establish a Regular Sleep Schedule
“A time for everything” – Setting a regular sleep schedule for your child, even on weekends, helps regulate their biological clock. This is similar to preschool nap times which emphasizes creating healthy sleep habits for children. Your child will gradually get used to going to bed and waking up at a fixed time, thereby forming good sleep habits.
Create an Ideal Sleep Environment
A quiet, cool, and dimly lit room will create an ideal condition for your child’s sleep. The room temperature should be adjusted appropriately, avoiding being too hot or too cold. In addition, choosing common preschool supplies is also important to create a safe and comfortable environment for children.
Reasonable Nutrition
Your child’s dinner should be light and easily digestible, avoiding sugary or caffeinated foods. “Being able to eat and sleep is heavenly; not eating and not sleeping adds worries and costs money.” I vividly remember a story about Minh, a former student of mine at Ngo Thi Nham preschool, who often had trouble sleeping because he ate too much in the evening. After adjusting his diet, he slept much better. To better understand preschool classroom management skills, you can refer to additional resources.
