How much sleep should children get at different ages? What happens if my child does not get enough sleep?


To help the child develop a sleep habit, establish a consistent routine that includes avoiding TV, computer, and video games 1 hour before bedtime, reading or telling a bedtime story, using earplugs if noise is unavoidable, taking a warm bath, and avoiding chocolate, caffeinated, or sugary drinks at bedtime by offering warm milk instead.

What is the minimum age for the child to start yoga? How does yoga differ for different age groups?


There is no consensus on when children should start practicing yoga, but experts suggest starting at age 5. For ages 5-10, yoga is often taught through play, games, and songs to keep them engaged, focusing on physical development, attention span, sitting tolerance, and peer bonding. Adolescents can understand more complex practices, including meditation, which aid in physical development, hormonal balance, and emotional well-being. NIMHANS, Bengaluru provides age-specific yoga modules, accessible via YouTube links.
