Good Sleep linked to Improved VocabularyThere are more and more studies coming out on the importance of getting enough sleep during childhood. As busy parents with busy children, sometimes we sacrifice those crucial sleep hours for activities, homework, or family time. We must remember that our children will learn better, behave better, and be healthier if they get enough sleep. This article gives one more reason why sleep is so important for children–improved vocabulary.

At Beach Kids Pediatrics, we desire the success of all children, and we know that sleep is a crucial part of their developing brain and body. Sure, there may be times when keeping your kids up past their appropriate bedtime is necessary, but it shouldn’t be a consistent thing. Speaking of consistent, kids need a good routine, and when sleep is part of that routine, it becomes much easier to help them get the sleep they need. And, as the article shows, with sleep comes improved vocabulary.
