For adults, one thing that is dispensable during napping is to play with mobile phones and watch dramas. Some people are energetic, and even if they have enough time, they don't have the idea of taking a nap. But for children, nap is a very necessary thing, often nap and never nap children, grow up in some aspects of the gap is very large, the family does not love naps, parents can not be improper.
What is the difference between children who "take a nap often" and "never nap"? Parents should have a number in their hearts
Once saw such a thing, Xiao Min's unit lunch break time is only one and a half hours, after eating, there is not much time left, Xiao Min therefore has no nap habits, playing with mobile phones to pass the time. Even if she is at home during the holidays, Xiaomin will not take a nap, and the sleepiness of doing housework and playing with the children for a while will disappear.
When I was in kindergarten, the teacher reflected to Xiaomin that her daughter did not like to take a nap, and the teacher said that her daughter was not noisy or noisy, but she opened her eyes at noon. Xiao Min felt that it was just that the child could not calm down, there was no big problem, and she never cultivated her daughter's nap habit.
Her daughter went to elementary school, and when Xiaomin took her daughter to sign up, she happened to meet a high school classmate. Xiao Min found that the classmates and the couple were of average height, but the baby was half a head taller than her daughter. Xiao Min chatted with her classmates about the parenting experience, and found that her classmates' babies were similar to their own daughters in terms of eating and drinking sports, and Xiao Min was very confused: How can your baby be taller than my daughter?
Tell XiaoMin that she heard that the child sleeps enough to develop so that it will not fall, so she let the child insist on taking a nap from an early age, which may be the reason. Xiao Min listened to it very regretfully, before he did not pay attention to letting the child take a nap, delaying the child's long body.
What is the difference between children who "take a nap often" and "never nap"?
1. Physical development.
A large part of the long body is done in sleep, so whether the sleep time is sufficient is closely related to the physical development of the child. Children who never take a nap will have slower physical development, and people of the same age will begin to swoop down, and children will appear short before they have grown.
2. Concentration.
Energy is limited, and a high level of mental concentration can make people feel tired. Children are in the learning stage, eight or nine lessons a day, the consumption of spirit is very large. Children who never take a nap will desert in the afternoon class because they are sleepy and unable to concentrate on listening to the lecture.
How do I get my child to form a nap habit?
1. Do not let the child lie in bed.
There is a fixed amount of sleep time in a day, if you sleep more in bed in the morning, you will not feel tired at noon, so you are not willing to take a nap. Parents should establish a biological clock for their children to go to bed early and get up early, so that the child can feel sleepy at the point and obediently go to bed.
2. Properly coax sleep.
Sleeping immediately after meals is not conducive to digestion, parents can take advantage of this time to put some hypnotic music for children, tell bedtime stories, etc., to create a sleeping atmosphere, so that children gradually quiet down, it is easier to fall asleep.
3. Gradually lengthen the nap time.
It is more difficult for the child to suddenly accept the nap, at the beginning the child may sleep for half an hour, he is not willing to sleep again, parents do not have to force the child to continue to sleep, you can let the child get up and do something else. In this way, the child will not resent the nap, and the child will fall asleep longer after getting used to the nap.
And you have a sweet word, whether there is a gap brought about by insisting on napping, parents must have a number in their hearts, as soon as possible to cultivate children's nap habits, so that children will benefit for a lifetime.
