Top tips to improve children's behavior

Many parents with a young child at one time or another have thrown up their hands, rolled their eyes and said, "What am I going to do with my child? His school has been calling, telling me how much trouble he is. And he's so hyperactive, even his grandparents won't babysit him. I'll never get him to behave."

These problems can be fixed.

Fixing your children's sleep problems may improve their grades and their behavior

dandy dandy - 5 months ago
  1. Late Bedtimes, Early Start Times: Late summertime bedtimes collide with early school start times; so kids start the new school year being sleep-deprived.
  2. Sleep Debt Builds: Each day they lose more sleep, building up a "sleep debt" that, like all debts, must be paid-off.
  3. Weekend Catch-up - There's a Catch

Teach your child good sleep habits, also known as "sleep hygiene".

  • Establish sleep-healthy bedtimes, bedtime routines, habits, and diets. If late bedtimes are an issue, try ticking back bedtimes in 15 minute increments every night or other night until you get to a bedtime where your child wakes up easily and refreshed.
  • Identify and reduce as much daytime stress as possible.
  • Limit TV and other "screen time" (computers, video games), especially at bedtime, and do not put a TV in your child's bedroom: children with a TV in their room tend to go to bed later and get less sleep than those without, and those kids who get less sleep are more likely to spend 2 or more hours watching TV.
