How to help your children perform better in school

With all the kids back in school and summer quickly coming to its final days we have found a few things that may help keep them focused during class. Many studies have been done and researchers have found that there is a strong connection with sleep, learning and children’s performance at school. A well-rested kid is more likely to perform better at school than a kid who is deprived from sleep. During a study a group of kids from 9-14 years old were asked to get rest and a good night sleep, while the other group was deprived sleep for a single night. The results stated the obvious, children who are well rested and get a good night sleep will perform better at school. It was found that sleep deprivation results in change in the brain activity during simple task or attention. Adolescents have shown that the areas of the brain that help them stay attentive have to work twice as hard in order to perform better during a memory task. In order for your children’s memory to perform better it is recommended that they get their good night sleep. So yes parents if you want to make your children more agile and quick learners make sure they are getting a good breakfast, dinner and a well- rested good night sleep.

Explicit memory is supported by sleep because sleep impacts on learning depend on the degree and duration of sleep deprivation and the type of material being learned. Sleep comes a long way and it’s as important as good nutrition and exercise because during sleep the body repackages neurotransmitters, chemicals the enable brain cells to communicate. Your children need to be obtaining their vitamin ZZZ because not only will they perform better at school, but it can help them fight obesity, and have a lower risk of becoming overweight and develop diabetes.

The goal for your children is to get them a good night sleep and increase their performance in school. Although all of those factors are extremely important for a parent, there’s something else that needs to be considered. The chemicals used to make your children’s pillows, sheets, covers and mattresses (softeners, deodorants, flame retardants, fluffing agents, anti-static chemicals, surfactants, formaldehyde, VOC etc… and the list goes on). Your children’s bed may appear to be normal, but their bed is certainly not at their best. There is short-term and long-term effects these chemical can be doing to the children. The reason this can happen is because skin absorbs chemicals, which can result in the onset of disease and chronic conditions.
