NEWS FROM THE OFFICE

Macaroni & Cheese Food Drive –Success!—Thank you for your thoughtfulness at this Thanksgiving Season of Blessings

Sleepy?

A recent study shows us that children who do not get enough sleep are much more likely to have behavioral symptoms and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity.  Pediatricians recommend 10 – 12 hours each night for children ages 3 to 10.

*Give children a 30 minute “calming down” time

*Warm bath and cozy pajamas

*Read together—avoid TV before bedtime

*Soft Music and Night Light

*Reassure them that you will check on them during the night—Be consistent –Sweet dreams!
