Regardless of what age you are, sleep is detrimental to our health! It allows for our bodies to regenerate and recharge while also acting as an important factor in child development. This is why it is so important to maintain a proper sleep schedule.

This current study found that it is not only vital for your child to maintain good sleeping habits, but parents and educators as well. Parent’s help shape the sleeping habits of their children. By educating parents on healthy sleeping habits, it can work wonders for your child’s sleep. Educating and working with early childcare professionals on proper sleep habits can also elevate daily nap times for your little ones.
