Quality sleep is essential for children’s growth and development. A decent night’s sleep will help them to do better at school, allow them to react more quickly to situations, have a more developed memory, learn more effectively, and solve problems - plus it will make them less susceptible to colds and other minor ailments, less irritable and better behaved!
