Download or read book Sleep Needs Patterns and Difficulties of Adolescents written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-24 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep is not only a biological necessity but also a physiological drive. In today's fast-paced world, though, a good night's sleep is often the first thing to go. The effects of inadequate sleep are more than mere annoyances: they affect our mood and how we perform at school, work, and home and behind the wheel. Lost sleep also accumulates over time; the more "sleep debt" an individual incurs, the greater the negative consequences, according to researchers in the field. Research on adolescents and sleep has been under way for more than two decades, and there is growing evidence that adolescents are developmentally vulnerable to sleep difficulties. To discuss current research in this area and its implications in the policy, public, health, and educational arenas, the Forum on Adolescence of the Board on Children, Youth, and Families held a workshop, entitled Sleep Needs, Patterns, and Difficulties of Adolescents, on September 22, 1999.

Download or read book School Start written by Lynn Jenkins and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for any parent wanting to help their child develop the emotional skills necessary for school success! Starting school can be an anxious time for both children and parents! Studies increasingly show that children who have good emotional skills are far better equipped to meet any challenges and develop resilience in the face of any setbacks. And it’s parents and carers who are the key people in helping children to develop these strong emotional foundations. By focusing on your child’s emotional and social needs, School Start enables you to understand your child’s brain development and how this impacts on their emotional intelligence. It also offers practical strategies for how you can help your child to: deal with anxiety initiate new friendships cope when things don’t always go to plan accept that people have different strengths and weaknesses and that they won’t always be ‘the best’ (or ‘the worst’) at things deal with teasing and bullying, and develop resilience. Guidance is also given to help you cope with your own reactions to your child starting school. It’s important for new ‘school parents’ to be self-aware and in touch with their parenting values, as it’s all too easy to draw on ‘baggage’ from your own school years when faced with problems your child might face. With School Start to help you, you’ll be well equipped to offer the right advice and be the emotional support your child needs—no matter what they encounter!
