CHILD andYOUTHSERVICES

Backpack Connection SeriesAbout this SeriesThe Backpack Connection Series was created by TACSEI to provide a way for teachers and parents/caregivers to work together to help young children develop social emotional skills and reduce challenging behavior. Teachers may choose to send a handout home in each child’s backpack when a new strategy or skill is introduced to the class. Each Backpack Con-nection handout provides information that helps parents stay informed about what their child is learning at school and specific ideas on how to use the strategy or skill at home.

The Pyramid ModelThe Pyramid Model is a framework that provides programs with guidance on how to promote social emotional competence in all children and design

effective interventions that support young children who might have persistent chal-lenging behavior. It also provides practices to ensure that children with social emotional delays receive intentional teaching. Programs that implement the Pyramid Model are eager to work together with families to meet every child’s individualized learning and support needs. To learn more about the Pyramid Model, please visit challengingbehavior.org.

More InformationFor more information about this topic, visit TACSEI’s website at www.challengingbehavior.org and type “bedtime” in the Search Box in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Routines &

Schedules

Infants and young children need 10 to 12 hours of sleep daily in order to support healthy development. Parents also need to feel rested in order to be nurturing and responsive to their growing and active young children.

When your child does not get enough sleep, challenging behaviors are likely to occur. Your child might be moody, short-tempered and unable to engage well in interactions with others. Lack of sleep can also have a negative impact on your child’s ability to learn. When a young child sleeps, her body is busy developing new brain cells that she needs for her physical, mental and emotional development. Babies and young children thrive on predictability and learn from repetition. It is important to establish a bedtime routine that you and your child both understand and helps everyone to feel calm and relaxed.

Alyson Jiron, Brooke Brogle & Jill Giacomini

How to Help Your Child Have a Successful Bedtime

Try This at Home � Watch for and acknowledge your child’s signs

of sleepiness. She might pull on her ears, rub her eyes or put her head on your shoulder. For example, you can say, “I see you rubbing your eyes. You look sleepy. Let’s get ready for bed.” Teaching your child to label and understand her body cues will help her to use language instead of challenging behavior (e.g., whining, crying or temper tantrums) to communicate her needs.

� Use a visual schedule made with photos, clipart or other objects to help your child see the steps in her bedtime routine. A visual schedule can help her to understand the steps and expectations of the routine. To learn more about how to create a visual schedule, visit challengingbehavior.org and type “visual schedule” in in the search box in the upper-right corner.

� Provide your child with activities, sounds or objects that help her feel calm and restful during the hour before bedtime. Make these activities part of your nightly routine. For example, reading books, listening to soft, calming music, and/or giving your child her pacifier, favorite blanket or stuffed animal will all help her to understand that it is time to calm down and prepare for sleep.

� Tell your child what will happen when she wakes up. She may be resistant to going to sleep because she does not want to miss out on an activity or have her day to come to an end. Reassure her that tomorrow will be filled with more fun and special time. You can also include tomorrow’s activity on the visual schedule (e.g., provide a picture of her teacher or preschool).

� Give your child your undivided and unrushed attention as you prepare her for bed. Bedtime can be a positive experience filled with quality time for you and your child.

Practice at SchoolFor children who spend the day at school, nap time is an important time to rest and prepare for afternoon learning and activities. Teachers use a consistent routine so that children know what to expect and can participate in the process. Children can select and set up a napping area, get pillows or blankets from cubbies and choose a book to read. Routines might include brushing teeth, using the toilet, stories read aloud by teachers, or audio books or soft music for a period of time. Children understand the steps they need to follow to get ready for the nap, how long they are expected to rest and what they can do when they wake up. When everyone understands the expectations and routine, naptime can be a relaxing and happy part of the day.

The Bottom LineBedtime is a daily opportunity for you to build and nurture a positive relationship with your child. Predictable routines make children feel safe and secure. When you provide a predictable bedtime routine, you are teaching your child the skills she needs to relax and transition from the busy activity of the day to preparation for sleep. When your child is able to get a restful sleep, you will also feel more calm and rested. A sucessful bedtime routine that you follow regularly will prepare you both for shared days of family fun and learning.

Winter Reading Deserves More Respect Than It Gets!

Trapped by Michael Northup

The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive. . .

This is a hard time of year for many light loving individuals, but a “go to” favorite coping strategy is to have a cup of hot cocoa, find a comfy spot, and get lost in a good book. As the first snow of the season draws near, people tend to stay inside and out of the elements. Since you’re going to be inside anyway, grab a warm beverage, a blanket, and read!

The following novels are just the ticket for bleak winter days: they’re exciting, gripping, and just a wee bit dark, dreamily fitting for the season.

A Legacy of Spies by John le Carre

Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carre has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

This beguiling book achieves what most seek in all literature, a roadmap of how to live life. The story of Count Alexander Rostov living his life in Moscow’s Metropol Hotel after being sentenced by the Bolsheviks to house arrest in the early 20’s was delightful and charming. He shows us how to adapt to misfortune and strive to bring out the best in people. Against all the horrors of Stalinist totalitarianism, his form of individualism makes for a brave and potent subversive force.

Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.
