Impact of Rest and Sleep To Children When Learning.
Rest and sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity, and it’s fair to say that, every single child while growing up, needs to have a sufficient number of hours dedicated to rest and sleep.
Research from scientists has it that, today’s children sleep an hour less than how they slept years ago.
It’s unhealthy to keep your kids studying for hours without them going for a break or resting.
We’d be looking at both the negative and positive impacts of sleep to the health of your children, psychologically, physiologically and emotionally.
Negative Impact to Children.
-
Behavioral problems.
This is one negative rest associated problem when it comes to learning in kids.
When a child is deprived of sleep, they become hyperactive, easily agitated and may exhibit different negative attitudes and signs that they wouldn’t ordinarily show if they had enough sleep.
This affects them in school. They become anti-social to friends and may exhibit a rather radical and unfamiliar behavior. It’s good practice to begin sleep-training your children before they age.
Work out a sleep timetable with and be strict with it, because your kids probably won’t see the benefit of what you’re doing for them.
-
Bad Grades and General School Performance.
They don’t only get to suffer from sleep deprivation in their social life, as their general school performance would definitely suffer.
Not getting enough rest and sleep could spell doom for your child’s general education and grades. What happens is that they don’t sleep throughout the night and then, they enter the classroom with heavy eyes. This way, it’s a really hard for them to comprehend any thing that they learn in class
Again, their grades isn’t just what suffers, if your children were kids who engaged in sports and other extra-curricular activities that would be a big minus for them.
Not being able to gather their thoughts and process information quickly would make them slip up and falter, making them bad athletes.
When kids do not get enough rest sand sleep, they are subjected to a lot of physiological, psychological and emotional trauma, and it’s not good for their health. They become less productive and display random behavioral attitude
Positive Impact to Children.
The benefit of rest and sleep is pretty much evident in any child who has had a lot of it.
They tend to be physiologically and psychologically alert and brimming with a lot of positive energy. Their performance, level of thinking and processing, creativity, health, and safety is beyond doubt at an optimal level.
Children who’ve had a good sleep make sound decisions in their academics. It’s no brainer that this set of students answer questions effectively and correctly in school.
So there you have it.
