Summary: Irregular bedtimes and effects in the behaviors

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/oct/14/children-regular-bedtimes-behaviour
Hi! This time I refer about the news of the “The guardian”, the title is “Children with regular bedtimes less likely to misbehave”. The news refer that the University College of London (UCL) made a study about the bedtimes in child; for this, are studied more than 10.000 children. This study showed that child with irregular bedtimes are more likely to present behavioral problems, as hyperactivity, additionally, child present symptoms as the jet lag. The child with irregular bedtimes, were associated with others types of bad routines like see TV in the bedroom and for too hours, not eat breakfast or not read daily; and, in the journal Pediatrics, this article say that keep healthy routines is very hard to families with parents that work for a long time, so should have policies that care the routines of the child. Although this irregular routines are reversible, this was demonstrate for parents that change the hours of the bedtimes of their child, and they show a better behavior. Professor Ivonne Kelly of the UCL department of epidemiology and public health says that the regular bedtimes are important to healthy development, so a good routine is important to the future of the child. For the other hand, Professor Kelly says that if sleeping with a regular routine and property hours is favorable to the development, the interventions should focus on the education for families to teach good habits for their daily life.
