How much sleep SHOULD a 10/11 year old be getting?
Q: Like most of us adults, our children are not getting the sleep that they require. My question is not how much does your kid get or how to get her up in the morning. BUT, does anyone KNOW the recommended amount of sleep that a child of this age should be getting.Bed time is 8:30, but she is just not being able to get things together to attend school on time in the morning. I know that her medications can be playing a big part on this, as does her special needs. WE have talked about bed earlier, but hey she is still and 11 year old and is not really ready for bed that early??So does anyone know what is recommended for an average kid in this age range. Or if others find a suitable bed time that might work better?? She is trying.
A: Well, I have heard 9 to 10 hours for children. Mine gets about 10 hours because she goes to bed around 8:30 as well, but she usually is not falling asleep until about 9:00. I get her up just before 7:00 ( 10 hours) and she is generally ready to wake up and get ready in a timely manner. On the weekends, when she goes to bed at 10:00, she generally gets up just after 8:00, so this tell me that she really only needs a few minutes longer than ten hours.Of course, my girl doesn’t have to take meds, so we don’t have an issue with that. Talk to your doctor and see if maybe there is another type of medication for her condition or maybe you can adjust what time of the day she gets it. That may make the world of a difference. Good luck to you! I hope you can figure it out, I know that schools are not always willing to work with us through situations.
Enough sleep for an almost 8 month old?
Q: My baby has always slept around 12-13 hours total for the day. About 10 hours at night and 2-3 hours of napping day sleep. He has been that way since he was born! As a newborn, he seemed to always be under the amount of recommended sleep. Now, as an 8 month old, I think he is STILL under the recommended amount (is it 14 hours minimum?) I work very hard at setting the right tone for sleep…..bath, books, quiet music, full tummy, regular nap schedule, etc. However, this is ALL he ever sleeps. I know that 12 hours of total sleep is not TOO far off from the recommended 14, but are there any other parents out there that also have children that never quite met the “typical amount of sleep”? I have some friends that their babies get 12 hours of just nighttime sleep and ANOTHER 2-4 hours of day sleep. Wow! So, if your child also was a short sleeper, did they turn out OK ? 🙂 He is a happy boy during the day, not overly fussy or tired seeming. So, I suppose he must be getting enough. Just wondering what you all think. Thanks!
A: Every child is different 🙂 I think everything is fine. My daughter slept about the same as your baby. now at 10 months, she sleeps 10 to 11 hours at night, and naps about 2 hours total. She is a happy baby, so I don’t worry about what is “normal”
I think my mum may have a mental problem?
Q: Explaining this is a little strange. I think my mother is either mildly retarded or at least has something creating an imbalance in her brain, to make her have some sort of mental problem. I’m 19 and i have not lived with her since i turned 16, but for as long as i could remember she’s always been very hard to deal with and strange. For example:She married my dad when she was 18 after knowing him for three weeksShe’s had 6 kids but i still have to teach her every time how to look after them, sterilise bottles, feed them the right things when there ill. When i was a kid she once made me and my younger brothers a meal with smashed glass in because she thought it would be fine and it wouldn’t hurt us…(she smashed a jar of sauce and decided to still use it even though there was still tiny pieces of glass in it)She thought my dad hitting me was okShe’s very awkward socially, she never likes to say please or thank you and feels she’s always better then people ‘serving’ her food etc…She always used to feed my brother peas when he was a kid even though every time he had an allergic reaction. she has a very bad memory.She can’t grasp time concepts, she is always at least 2 hours lare for meeting me claiming its been 20 minutes. She never remembers my birthday, and once forgot i was 6 and told my primary school she thought i might be 4. she once ran away and stayed in canada illegally and therefore got me and her banned from the country when i was five and her reasoning was ‘she didn’t know it was illegal’when she wanted to punish me sometimes she would do so by forbidding me to sleep and by doing that she deliberately affected her own sleep to make half hour checks on me, to make sure i was awake.She’s extremely racist even though she is a philipino, and refuses to admit she is an asian.I was 13 and having to help her fill out a passport form for a new one and she couldn’t even tell me her full name, and she seemed confused between her middle and last nameShe always tell me she wishes i was dead, and im not what she wanted.She always seems to think its perfectly fine to ask favours of people and not return them, and becomes very bitter and bitchy if they refuse to the point of being very childish and permanently not speaking to them.when i was quite young i lost her lottery ticket and she forced me to go look for it outside very late at night and told me not to come back unless i found it. She values money a lot more then anything else.Around the age of 7 i just didn’t want to live i was very young and didn’t quite understand the concept of death- i took more then the recommended amount of paracetamol convinced it would make me sleep forever, i told her this when i was around 15 and it didn’t upset her in anyway. She refuses to the point of tears to watching the news because she says she doesn’t want to learn about her surroundings.which i always find odd.She still acts as if shes a very immature teenager. if she’s been made angry she has moments of ignoring people even when they’re talking to her, slams doors,shouts etc..She still doesn’t understand how phones work and always thinks she has to shout down them.When i was a kid i always used to hear her crying in her bedroom at night, so that could be depression? she has no family here apart from her kids and i am her eldest daughter so i see how she properly feels incredibly lonely and misses her family….As a child i had the most awkward up-bringing icouldn’tt stand her, and i still can’t but now i think there must be something wrong with her. What can i do?or how can i get her to see a doctor for some help without offending her? She has the tendancy to become very bitter/violent when scorned or offended…I really need to find out whats wrong with her, i just think there must be.None of my aunts or uncles or even my grandparents are like her, they’re all very loving and i consider them very balanced people. Shes not always bad, theres times when i was very young and she told me she loved me, and even though she’s not the best of mothers she does an ok job with my help, and considering the fact she has no family here and very little friends i think shes dealt with alot and is quite a strong person.Any ideas on how i can get her ‘tested’ or how i can approach her with this, or even anyone knowing what she could have, i would be really grateful to hear your thoughtsThanks.i also would like to know if she was mentally retarded/ill could it be hereditory?I have a younger brother who has difficulty in learning…
A: she sounds like she has some longstanding (congenital maybe) neurological disorder – maybe something that happened in the womb – she should have neuropsychological testing – she may not be fit to care for children
