QUOTE FOR THE MONTH
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes
are endless.”
B is for Bedtime
Awwwww, Mom!Already?Sound familiar? On average children, need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. Sleep is
important for many reasons. Lack of sleep can cause kids to be hypersensitive, impatient, or cranky. It is more difficult for children to concentrate and learn when they are tired. Encouraging quiet activities such as, reading just prior to bedtime offers a transition that helps children relax. Sweet dreams!
