ONE TIP for this week…

Device curfews - One common rule among families is a device curfew, which will vary
depending on the age of the child and what works for your family. Device curfew routines from a young age will assist in your child having quality sleep which helps with behaviour, productivity and learning. Ideally, 90 minutes before your child sleeps is recommended to be screen-free, but even 30 or 60-minutes screen-free before bed will make a difference to kids’ sleep.
