Jeff,

So glad to see you here. Yes, children need a lot of sleep and so do teens. Parents think that when kids' marks plummet that they aren't studying. It could be there are deprived of sleep and nothing else. They may be studying, but it is not being taken in because they are completely fatigued.

Have you ever watched a baby who is falling asleep and doesn't want to miss anything? His head nods, his eyes close, he jerks awake and the entire process continues until he can no longer fight the sandman.

Yes, today we have numerous ways of monitoring children's health and that is good. Did you know that mono enlarges the spleen? Mono can be caught off water fountains at schools or other public buildings.

Children and teens need regular checkups by a physician as well. This helps to catch any serious health problems early.

Thanks for stopping by and opening this discussion. I'm always happy to see you here.
