Sleep

Science

• They learned about the benefits of having a regular sleep schedule and following bedtime routines.
• The child learned about the effects of lack of sleep on their health and well-being.

Encourage the child to explore sleep further by creating a dream journal. They can write or draw their dreams each morning and discuss them with you or their friends. This will help them understand the different stages of sleep and the importance of dreams. Additionally, you can have discussions about healthy sleep habits and help them create a bedtime routine that works for them.
