Summer is accompanied by school holidays for the little ones in the house. No more early mornings, classes, homework and extracurricular activities. Until September, their day to day will take place between hours and hours of games, dips in the pool, sea or river and some other activity such as camps or academic reinforcement classes.
It is a time of enjoyment for children, which blurs their routines, schedules and obligations. But, although this gives them relief, rest and fun, it can also trigger certain effects that are not so beneficial in their development. If your sleep schedules are not properly regulated, your performance, concentration, memory and mood worsen. All this without forgetting that it will also cost them twice as much to return to the routine when school, nursery school or high school starts again.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children under one year of age get between 12 and 16 hours of sleep, 11 to 14 hours of sleep for children between one and two years of age, and children between 3 and 4 years of age should sleep between 10 and 13 hours. Of course, these hours of sleep must be of good quality rest, with regular times to fall asleep and wake up.
