Habits to Support your Child’s Faster Growth

Sleep promotes growth and development in children.

During deep sleep, the body releases the hormones it needs to grow. Getting enough sleep allows optimal height growth. The immune system also rebuilds itself during sleep, helping your child fight infections.

For better health, children between the ages of 3 to 5 should have 10 to 13 hours of good quality sleep. It is also recommended to set bed time routines to help your child sleep on time, which includes putting gadgets and screens away one hour before bed time.
