When school starts, every parent is busy with their child’s performance in the new semester, registering for interest classes, special classes, after-school tutoring classes and so on, because every parent will put their hope on their child, but while considering so many future possibilities or impossibilities, have you ever considered giving your child a sufficient amount of sleep? Sleep is a necessity of our life, without a good sleep naturally there is no good quality of life, there is no good work performance, will show fatigue, irritability, anxiety, irritability and many other unpleasant emotions, if there is a good sleep last night, the next day’s work efficiency is also very high, adults are so children are easy to be so, if you really care about your child’s academic performance, the healthy growth of children, then first from If you really care about your child’s academic performance and healthy growth, start by caring about your child’s sleep! The impact of sleep on growth and development We often hear old people around us say that children “grow up during the day and grow taller at night”, yes, although this is a common saying, but we can also learn a lot of scientific truth from it. Modern medicine has confirmed that the growth hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland is an important substance to promote human body growth, which can accelerate the growth of bones and make the human body grow taller. In addition, the sleep process also allows each organ of the child’s body to get sufficient rest, especially the child’s brain, brain development and directly affect the child’s intelligence level, the human brain has many functional subdivisions, divided into language, motor coordination, memory, reproductive system and so on hundreds of subdivisions, so many functional areas if not effectively rest, will inevitably lead to the inhibition of the corresponding function, on If so many functional areas are not effectively rested, the corresponding functions will be inhibited, and mental retardation, delayed or stopped development will occur. In a survey of 5-6 year olds, it was found that children with short stature, physical deviations, and low immunity commonly suffer from lack of sleep. Impact of sleep on academic performance Lack of sleep has a significant impact on children’s learning, and some surveys have shown that lack of mental clarity is the most critical factor affecting children’s poor academic performance. Parents often hear teachers give feedback about their children’s learning situation, “children are smart, but sometimes they are sloppy”, “I don’t know why, but they always slip out of class”, “children love to learn, but they are not very efficient in learning”, etc. These may indicate that the child is not getting enough sleep. However, some parents’ practice is more worrying, seeing their children’s poor academic performance, so they let their children work overtime at night to make up for what they won’t do during the day, but in the end, the possible result is that the more they make up the more they won’t, the more they want to not be left behind, but the more they are left behind, we can’t deny that learning methods are not important, but having a good night’s sleep will allow children to have better methods and higher efficiency. to learn. The relevant medical research shows that lack of sleep will lead to increased oxygen consumption in the brain, brain cells in a state of oxygen deprivation, so that brain function will decline, the class will have difficulty concentrating, love to doze off and so on, how can learning performance! Foreign studies have shown that 3 consecutive days of sleep deprivation, when answering questions can make the intelligence of 10-year-old children drop to the level of only 7-8 years old. Usually school children should be guaranteed more than 10 hours of sleep every day, but for children of all learning ages in high, middle and elementary school in China’s exam-oriented education environment, less than 43% can really reach 10 hours of sleep, so we often hear parents say, “Look at his children also do not learn much ah, is good at learning “, “My child I also do not care much, is the time to study, when the time to play, play, learning is also good ah”, hear here many parents find a good reason for themselves “your child is still smart “In fact, this is not the case, Einstein’s brain is only a small part of the use, but is the world’s most accomplished scientists. Sleep on the psychological impact of growth Children can grow up healthy is actually the thing we parents are most concerned about, the fact that not all children can get into prestigious universities, are scientists, so even if they do not have the best grades, but we also hope that children can have their own achievements in life, we are not around a lot of successful people who have not studied in college or college dropouts, which shows that a healthy concept of growth is important. Then this healthy concept of growth must be developed from an early age. If a normal person does not get enough sleep continuously, it will lead to irritability, anxiety, irritability and even depression, autism and other psychological disorders, starting to not like to contact and talk with people, love to lock themselves in the room, produce boredom, rebellion and other psychological and emotional changes. This is unhealthy psychological behavior, more detrimental to the child’s psychological growth, will inevitably lead to the creation of certain distorted ideas. We see a lot of tragedies around us, because of bad grades and mental illness, serious and suicide, these are not what parents want to see, so adequate sleep is very important for the psychological growth of children. A warm bath before bedtime, a warm soak in water, listening to relaxing music, doing a bedtime wash, or even giving your child a warm word of encouragement may help your child have a good night’s sleep. A small gesture from you to give your child a good and sufficient sleep habit may well change the child’s life.
