Authoritarian ParentingAuthoritarian parenting is a

style characterized by high

demands and low

responsiveness. Parents with an

authoritarian style have very

high expectations of their

children, yet provide very little

in the way of feedback and

nurture. Mistakes can be

punished harshly.

Permissive ParentingPermissive parenting is a characterized by low demands with high responsiveness. Permissive parents tend to very loving, yet provide few guidelines and rules. These parents do not expect mature behaviourfrom their children and often seem more like a friend than a parental figure.

Authoritative ParentingAuthoritative parenting is characterized by reasonable demands and high responsiveness. While these parents have high expectations for their children, they also give their children the strategies and support they need to succeed. Parents who exhibit this style listen to their children and provide love and warmth in addition to limits and fair discipline.

Boundaries There is no such thing as a naughty child – just

good and sad choices.

The Magic of Sleep Sleep is connected to behaviour, growth,

concentration, learning, obesity, physical health

and emotion.

Whilst asleep our child’s body is busy, this is the

primary time that the growth hormone is

secreted, along with the production of

cytokines, the proteins that are used in fighting

illness and infections.

Sleep Deprivation Mood, lower concentration levels, and irritability are all well known to

be linked to sleep deprivation.

When sleep is delayed the wavelength of brain activity changes, and less restful sleep occurs. Less restful sleep causes higher blood glucose levels and cortisol levels during the sleep.

Leptin, the hormone that tells us we are full and don’t need to keep eating, turns of when tired.

Research has shown adults with less than 7 hours sleep are three times more likely to come down with illness as those with 8+ hours sleep.

Frontal lobe activity reduces significantly when sleep deprived -affecting attention, problem solving / risk taking, emotional expression, behaviour, memory and language. These issues will present similarly to ADHD.

Sleep deprivation occurs sooner than you think.

When does tired become sleep

deprived?

1 hour a night for 4 nightsResearch shows that the impact of a lack of

sleep shows in the brain of children after only

4 nights losing an hour’s sleep each night.

Sleep routines Set up the end of the day right - think about

food, activity, time with you as the parent

Same time

Same place

Bed as a place for sleep

Surroundings are essential

Lose the screens 90 minutes before

Beware the holiday trap
