PHYSICAL FITNESS
Parents can become positive examples for
their children by joining them in physical
activity. Outdoor activities such as playing
tag, swimming, walking, bicycling, flying a kite,
swimming, building a snow fort, and others will
boost energy requirements for a child and
help to build healthy weights.
IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP
Every living creature needs to sleep. It is the primary
activity of the brain during early development. By the
age of two, most children have spent more time
asleep than awake and overall. Sleep directly
impacts childrens mental and physical
development. Babies spend 50% in the two stages of
sleep 1) NREM (Non-rapid eye movement or quiet
sleep) and 2) REM (Rapid eye movement or active
sleep). REM sleep comprises about 30% of sleep for 6
month olds. The sleep cycle is about every 1 hours
for 2-5 year olds.

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP
After toddlerhood, children typically sleep 11-13 hours
each night and rarely nap after 5 years of age
Preschoolers commonly experience nighttime fears
and nightmares because of their developing
imaginations; sleepwalking and sleep terrors also peak
during this age. Some sleep tips for preschoolers are:
Maintain a regular and consistent sleep schedule
Have a relaxing bedtime routine that ends in the area
where the child sleeps
Play soft music but no TV in a cool, quiet, and dark
room
