Problemas com o Desenvolvimento

[:en]A good night’s sleep can prevent many problems that, when they happen, are often associated with other reasons name by those responsible, Mommy and Daddy.

According to the neuropediatrician Márcia Pradella-Hallinam, from the Sleep Institute pediatrics, three in ten children up to 12 years old have sleep disorders. And the frequency is higher among babies: four out of ten babies do not sleep well.

The lack of quality sleep can hinder the development of the child who, in some cases, does not grow, does not gain weight and not always,  the quality of sleep of the child is investigated, says Dr. Márcia.

And it’s not hard to notice the signs of poor sleep quality. It can start with irritations and excessive crying, lack of concentration, the child does not follow the routine of the school,  sometimes gets aggressive, and the most obvious, presents dark circles.

Television is not an ally.

According to Saul Cypel, a neuropediatrician at the Albert Einstein Hospital, TV may even cause drowsiness, therefore, it harms the rest.

Other signs should be recognized, such as the agitation of the legs at the time of sleep, snoring that may be normal on a very tired day of the child or when your child has the flu, but if it occurs repeatedly during the week, should be investigated by an otolaryngologist specialized in children.

In all cases, when there is a possible suspect of sleep disturbance, the child’s sleep is being impaired, consult your pediatrician for a safe diagnosis.[:]
