                 Sleep matters

  How many hours sleep should your child be getting and why is it so important?

Why does sleep matter?

  Experts acknowledge that sleep plays a significant role in brain development, and it is important for children to get enough sleep as their bodies grow and mature. Sleep is crucial for teenagers - it is while they are snoozing at night that they release a hormone that is essential for the growth spurt during puberty. It plays in brain development, and sleep also plays an important role in our brain’s day-to-day ability to function. Lack of sleep makes it much harder for us to concentrate, and we become forgetful, irritable and prone to being clumsy and making mistakes. Furthermore, scientific evidence shows that the right amount of night-time sleep is just as important for children’s development as healthy eating and regular exercise.

How much sleep does my primary school child need?

   Sleep requirements differ from individual to individual, but in general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Between the ages of five and 11, your child will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night.

Bedtime is a chance to spend some quality time together, and if it’s a time both you and your child enjoy, your son or daughter will settle down in bed and drop off to sleep more easily.

   At stressful times, such as when your child starts in Reception, and at the start of each new school year, your child will probably get more tired than usual and will need more sleep. Limit your child’s use of the internet, games consoles and TV in the hour before they go to bed – and ideally don’t allow your son or daughter to have a computer, console or a TV set in their bedroom.

How much sleep does my secondary school child need?

   Between the ages of 11 and 18, your child will need 8.5-10 hours of sleep a night. It can be difficult to encourage older children to keep to a regular bedtime, but it’s important to try. Experts have linked a lack of sleep to problems with behavior, concentration and achievement at school. A lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain too, because it inhibits the production of appetite-controlling hormones. Older children often don't realize they're cutting back on their sleep.

 In conclusion, get enough sleep for children bodies grow and mature are very important. Sleep is crucial for teenagers--lake of sleep will lead to children much harder to concentrate. They will be become forgetful, annoyed and prostrate to being unwieldy and making mistakes. Between the ages of five and 11 children will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night. Between the ages of 11 and 18, children will need 8.5-10 hours of sleep a night. At stressful times, children will probably get more tired than usual and will need more sleep. A lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain too, older children they are cutting back on their sleep. By the way, lake of sleep can lead to children poor academic performance, concentration decreases, and the impact of a variety of negative emotions.

      He as a  reporter,he talk to strangers for a living; love the challenge of getting them to open up. But it was happened an accident; he began to lose his voice repeatedly. The doctor told he needs surgery; otherwise his throat would forever damage. In the next few weeks, he learned to listen to his wife and his son and his dog as well as birdsongs. Suddenly find everything is so beautiful. Before the surgery, he spent time on a mobile phone. Until he recovered voice, the strange thing is that he likes what he heard.

        How to be a better listener? Firstly, He has a meticulous heart, he can appreciate the feelings of others; he was full of compassion, he can feel others happy and fear. He has a profound self-restraint, he can understand the difficulties of others, forgive the mistakes of others, to tolerate the faults of others. Secondly, he has good patience, and ability to listen to others messy, immature, even incoherent, contradictory views for a long time. He also has to discovery and absorb other people's enthusiasm and the abilities ideas, because when people have concerns and suspect, he can sincerely and kindly encourage them to continue; Thirdly, when people occasionally say interesting, he would give a knowing smile; When others speak out some good ideas, he will continue nodded; When someone tries to say something to express thoughts, he would attentively listen, and from time to time ask some didn't catch that question. Lastly, When someone's speech ended, he will take someone else was talking about finishing well organized, and be absorbed them. Because of these good qualities, the clever talker often propounded and detailed understanding of all kinds of people. His language can often be very effective touching. Thus, no matter what people see him, are willing to put him as a good friend, willing to reveal his own thoughts, hid himself in the hearts of intense pain, troubles pour out to him, hoping to get his sympathy, comfort and assistance .

       In conclusion, a clever conversation must also be modest and courteous. No matter how others admire him, admire him, he should be the attitude of humility, open-minded. Similarly, a small-minded only had room for himself, but also unpopular. Not to published others judgment and emotional conversations, comments, always on a neutral attitude. Remember, sometimes non-verbal transmission of information you can express your position, but must not be expressed in the language, which is the most important. If you try to go beyond this limit, there is danger to listening the wrong places, make that a loss of direction and meaning of the conversation. I think sometimes in the process of listening, you can learn a lot of knowledge, so that you become more mature and more popular in the crowd.
