Helpful Sleeping Tips for a Healthy Family

Children need more sleep than adults. Sleep supports their rapid development - both physical and mental. It can be hard to tell if your child is getting enough sleep because tired children don’t slow down the same way adults do. Sometimes they wind up. You may have experienced the hyperactivity associated with overly tired kids. It often looks like ADHD.

Certain conditions may affect a child’s ability to sleep. Always check with your pediatrician if you suspect your child is not getting enough sleep.

Are kids today over-scheduled? Why don't you ask THEM?

We all want what’s best for our kids, but when does too much of a good thing become a bad thing? In our efforts to keep young people engaged, we sometimes let the schedule get overcrowded - and that can lead to stress. We may not always see it coming, but it’s pretty obvious once it arrives. 
Winner of two national awards, this engaging cartoon is designed to encourage thinking and discussions about being over-scheduled, getting enough sleep, and making time for play. Watch Rocketoons Episode 1: Too Many Activities to help your kids discover when too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.
Take a peek through the microscope and see what happens when ten pounds of activity get crammed into a five-pound day. After watching the cartoon, have an informal discussion using the Cartoonversation™ Card as a guide. You will be impressed and inspired by what the kids think and say.
