More in this section:Helping Children Prepare for Bedtime
As the summer winds down, parents can help their children develop healthy sleep cycles for the upcoming school year. At least two to three weeks prior to school, parents should gradually start waking their children up earlier and getting them to bed earlier, as well. You can help your child get a sound night’s sleep by not offering caffeine-filled snacks, like soda or chocolate, within four hours of bedtime. Exciting or stimulating activities, such as playing video games, chatting on the telephone or watching certain television shows, also should be wrapped up at least an hour before bed. Encourage quiet activities, such as reading. When well rested, your child will be better able to learn, play and succeed.
