Bedtime is meant to give parents some peace and quiet. Unfortunately for many, bedtime is just plain exhausting. Because bedtime battles can be a nightly occurrence, many parents find themselves giving into their little one's demands and allowing them to stay up longer.
Studies show that the bedtime habits formed as children often carry through during the adult years. So those kids who fall asleep in front of the TV at 11 o'clock at night will probably do so when they're older.
Not only do bedtimes set the stage for the future, but getting enough sleep improves memory, attention span, behavior, and overall well-being. These are important elements in a young child's day.
And it's never too early to start a bedtime. In fact, establishing one during the infant and toddler years can help improve both the quantity and quality of the sleep cycles - any parent's dream!
