Sleep & Sleep Routines for Children Ages 6-12

Not only is sleep vital for promoting a child’s physical health, it also plays a critical role in
their ability to learn and overall wellbeing. When a child gets the right amount of sleep for their age, they will pay better attention in school and remember what they learned, will be creative,
think of new ideas, fight sickness, get along better with friends and family.

Designed for parents with children ages 6-12, this video discusses the importance of sleep, how much sleep your child needs and how to foster good sleep habits with your child.

Developed as part of the Parents Matter Project, content for this video is based on the parent workshop Sleep and Bedtime Routines available here: https://middlechildhoodmatters.ca/parent-workshops
