like going to bed every night at thesame time and observing if your child

is getting enough rest for his age.

Create a morning routine thatinvolves doing particular things suchas eating breakfast at the same time,getting dressed, preparing snacks andlunch for the school day, and prepar-

ing other itemslike diapers, bot-

tles, clothes, etc.

Getting enough sleep is crucial to thedevelopment of children. Young chil-dren are usually able to sleep throughthe night for 10 to 12 hours and be-gin to phase out naps all together,particularly when they start to attenda nursery. Being tired does not allowthem to enjoy what we have pre-pared for them. It is very importantto start school with good sleep habits

bles.

Lunch period is for 40 minutes aday. (11:30 am). Lunch containers are

tato chips, packaged cakes or fast food.
