Helping Children Develop Healthy Sleep Patterns

The results of children not getting enough sleep are astonishing. Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on physical health and mental impairments. Inadequate rest impairs our ability to think, handle stress, maintain a healthy immune system and moderate our emotions. The loss of one hour of sleep for a child each night is equivalent to two years of cognitive maturation and development. In addition, sleep-deprived people fail to recall pleasant memories yet recall gloomy memories just fine. This presentation will review the facts about the importance of sleep and how to help children establish and maintain healthy sleep habits.

This workshop will take place at the East Craftsbury Presbyterian Church. It is free, and is co-sponsored by the Simpson Library and Craftsbury Saplings. It is supported in part by a grant from the Pleasants Fund of the Greensboro United Church of Christ.
