Around 44% of children and 77% of teens don’t get enough sleep for their age. Getting enough sleep helps kids and teens focus, do better in school and manage their behavior and emotions. Here’s what parents can do to support healthy sleep:

1. Create a comfortable, quiet sleep spot that’s dark, cool and screen-free.

2. Create a sleep routine and stick to it. Going to bed and waking up at the same time everyday helps regulate the body’s internal clock.

3. Avoid caffeine, spicy foods and screens for a few hours before bed.

Researchers have found that overall screen time in young children is linked with lower language and social-emotional skills, but viewing high quality educational content—think Sesame Street—with a parent has been associated with increased language skills. Main tip: select quality content and watch with your kids! Learn more: https://bit.ly/48hexQW
