The AAP does encourage parents to role-model healthy sleep patterns and make sure their children actually get the sleep their developing brains need. Keep all electronics out of bedrooms: yours as well as the children’s—the electromagnetic waves released by electronics appear to interfere with sleep. Make obtaining sufficient sleep a family priority, sticking with regular sleep routines, encouraging physical activity during the day, limiting screen time, and eliminating screens completely an hour before bed. If your children need to get up at 6:00 am, that means going to sleep at 9:00 pm. In my brain’s opinion, the role of healthy parenting includes setting boundary limits that have been shown to enhance brain development during childhood, thus giving your children a good start toward being successful and healthier throughout life. Adequate sleep is one of those boundaries.
