The Children Has No Place To Sleep

The Children Has No Place To Sleep. Sleep needs change as children get older It helps to have an idea of how much sleep your child needs as this will be different depending on their age All children are unique and some will need more or less sleep than others Daytime naps can help prevent young children becoming overtired.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) a quarter of children under the age of 5 don’t get adequate sleep 16 This is worrying because poor sleep in early childhood has been linked to allergic rhinitis 17 and problems with the immune system 18 as well as anxiety and depression 19 Author Danielle PachecoOccupation Staff Writer.

Why Kids Develop Sleep ProblemsBiologyPsychologyThe EnvironmentHow Can Parents Help?This is a complex question We identified nearly 60 factors that could play a role from a pool of 98 studies Ten of these factors were supported in several rigorous studies These factors fall under three “lenses” we can use to understand where children’s sleep problems come from biology psychology and the environment We identified two reasons kids develop sleep problems stemming from their biology—their temperament and their age Biology involves the child’s internal functions their makeup Temperament or disposition is the personality you see in your baby Babies who seem more fussy or irritablecan have a hard time responding to change and may not settle easily Babies with this type of temperament may be more likely to have sleep problems later in childhood As children get older they are less likely to have sleep problems This may be because their brains can better manage the processes needed to settle at night or that they are more independent in their bedtime routines The psychology of sleep problems in children involves two parts how children act and feel and how children and parents interact with each other We found six psychological reasons kids develop sleep problems three relating to how kids act and feel and three relating to family interaction Firstly we know that children who have had sleep problems earlier in lifeare likely to continue to have sleep problems later in childhood—unless change happens Children with mental health problems tend to have more sleep problems even if there’s no diagnosis There are two groups of problems linked with sleep problems internalizing problems (like anxiety and depression) and externalizing problems (trouble with following rules and focusing) Internalizing problems can make it harder for kids to settle down and fall asleep due to higher stress levels Externalizing problems may make rules and routines more difficult for children to follow which then makes it harder to settle to sleep How c The environment involves how children and parents interact with the world around them Firstly more electronic use is associated with more sleep problems in children This is especially true when children use screens in their bedroom or close to bedtime This is because screens prevent melatonin (the sleep hormone)from doing its job which is to make us sleepy But this isn’t the whole story Electronics may also keep kids’ minds alert especially if they are playing a game or watching an interesting show Secondly families with lower incomes and lower education are more likely to have children with sleep problems This likelyisn’t a direct resultof income or education but the fallout from these circumstances like living in noisy neighbourhoods or having parents with changing schedules These factors give a principal account of why sleep problems occur but not the whole story We don’t yet know how these factors might influence each other to make sleep problems better or worse Of the 10 factors I’ve listed parents can directly improve four 1 Help kids to fall asleep on their own 2 Develop a clear and consistent bedtime routine 3 Limit electronics in the bedroom and at bedtime 4 Calmly set clear and ageappropriate limits for your child during the day These changes can be easy to make and can have a great impact on your kid’s sleep Adam T Newton is a PhD candidate in clinical psychology at Western University This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license Read the original article.
