The next class in the 2015 Developmental Series will take place Thursday, February 26th from 11:00 a.m. – Noon in the conference room of the St. Mary’s Center for Children, located at 3900 Washington Avenue in Evansville. The topic is “The Lost Art of Sleep†with presenter Dr. Jim Schroeder.
This edition of the series will give an overview of typical sleep patterns for young children, markers for disrupted sleep, and methods that parents or caregivers can use to improve sleep habits. Evidence indicates that the earlier parents address sleep issues in children, the more likely that youth will adopt good sleep patterns that can provide the best opportunity for good physical and psychological development. Chronically-poor sleep is associated with a number of concerns, including attention, mood, and memory difficulties.
The 2015 Developmental Series is presented by the St. Mary’s Center for Children and ECHO Community Health Care. It is geared toward parents and caregivers of children ages 0 – 3 years old. Child care will be provided on-site. Light refreshments and snacks will be served.
