Sleep:
Ensure a good night sleep for your child. The brain cells can have difficulties to work at optimal levels after a bad night sleep. A regular bedtime routine, repeated at the same time every night, is essential for creating good sleep habits.
Tip: Many children fall asleep on the sofa or in front of a TV and later find themselves waking in their own bed. However, putting your child to sleep in the place they will spend the night helps make a connection for your child between their bedroom and sleep, that will make going to sleep there increasingly likely.
Excercise and Sports:
Regular physical activity has shown a positive effect on the functioning of the brain.
For example, take your family for a swim - a day at the local indoor or outdoor pool is hard to resist.
