Trends of Concern (1): Lack of Sleep for the Young
Adequate Sleep for Your Child School Hours Monday 7.30am to to Friday 1.30pm Picture taken from: https://www.healthhub.sg/program mes/117/goodsleep
Ensure that Your Child Gets a Good Night Sleep • Establish a regular, relaxing routine before bedtime, such as reading a book • Follow a consistent sleep pattern • Bed is only associated with rest, and not other activities that may cause distraction • Room should be quiet and dark • Avoid things that may stimulate your child near bedtime Extracted from: https://www.healthhub.sg/programmes/117/goodsleep
Trends of Concern (2): Child Obesity Rate
CULTIVATING HEALTHY EATING HABITS Time Snack Break From 11.00am – 12.00pm (in class) Prepare healthy snacks such as fruits like bananas or apples instead of sweet biscuits or chips Picture taken from: https://www.hpb.gov.sg/schools/school-programmes/healthy-meals- in-schools-programme
Advice on Birthday Goodie Bags Avoid preparation of such goodie bags for your child’s classmates • snacks/tidbits may trigger food allergies • other gifts may create unnecessary feelings of inadequacy for those pupils who do not give out goodie bags
