Bedtime battles with school-aged children can cause all sorts of problems beyond sleepiness. Experts say a routine is key with the kiddos... even on the weekends.
“There’s studies that suggest that children that don’t have enough sleeping are at high risk for obesity. They’re at high risk for depression, anxiety because they’re not functioning well,” explained Dr. Suzette Baez, a pediatrician with Parkland Health. “Also, it’s very important to remember the growth hormone is secreted at night when they’re asleep. If you don’t sleep enough, you’re not going to grow your potential because of it.”Dr.
Dr. Baez said for the most restful sleep create a bedtime routine that starts with stopping electronics at least an hour before bedtime. She suggested reading a book, dimming the lights and getting the phones and tablets out of the bedroom. Dr. Baez said for the best chance at success, parents should lead by example.
