Counselor's Corner
Sleep is extremely important for school-aged children. School-age children need 9-12 hours of sleep a night.
Here a few suggestions:
Set a bedtime routine: A bedtime routine can include activities like reading a book, taking a bath, or brushing teeth.
Stick to a regular bedtime: Try to do the same activities in the same order every day.
Turn off screens: Turn off TVs, computers, phones, tablets, and video games at least one hour before bedtime.
Dim the lights: Start winding down the household by dimming the lights before bed.
Consider a stuffed animal or security blanket: Toddlers may benefit from having a stuffed animal or security blanket for the night
