$🌿How much sleep do your kids need? (See age chart below)⁣ ⁣ 🌿With summer, consistency and routines fly out the window; it’s just part of the recipe for freedom that summer brings. Back to School is just around the corner and for some, in full effect so we are all losing those lazy day habits, and welcoming a new season of school and schedules. A gradual transition is key in our case, and one of the most essential routines is that of our sleep. I have partnered with @knowyourotcs for the past four years in hopes to learn and share the most useful parenting tips as we navigate all the chapters in motherhood. Did you know that kids under the age of 12, or before puberty, get tired naturally ‪around 8pm‬? According to @mamadocmed, there is a natural rise in young children’s melatonin levels ‪around 8pm‬. - and she recommends parents seize that opportunity to transition kids to bed.⁣ ⁣ 🌿To ensure our kids are getting the right amount of sleep each night when school starts, we start getting into our new sleep routine a couple of weeks prior...⁣ ⁣ 🌿@aasmorg recommends:⁣ •Infants 4 months to 12 months should sleep 12 to 16 hours per 24 hours (including naps)⁣ •Children 1 to 2 years of age should sleep 11 to 14 hours per 24 hours (including naps) ⁣ •Children 3 to 5 years of age should sleep 10 to 13 hours per 24 hours (including naps) ⁣ •Children 6 to 12 years of age should sleep 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours ⁣ •Teenagers 13 to 18 years of age should sleep 8 to 10 hours per 24 hours ⁣ ⁣ 🌿What about screen time? ⁣ The American Academy of Pediatrics (@healthychildrenaap) recommends that all screens be turned off 30 minutes to 1-2 hours before bedtime. Further, small screens (like smart phones) are more disruptive to sleep than TV – the light from the devices can impede natural hormones that help us fall asleep. And the interruptions from devices can fracture our sleep, too. ⁣ ⁣ 🌿Important Reminder for All Parents:⁣ ⁣ Never give your child an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine to make them sleepy. Always read the label before giving your child an OTC medicine. For more information, please visit @knowyourotcs and click the link in my bio! #knowyourotcs #backtoschool$
