On Sunday March 10th, Daylight Saving Time starts and the clocks turn forward one hour. Sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later on Sunday, which means it will be darker in the morning and lighter in the evening

Halloween can be a very exciting time for our little ones, with all the excitement, anticipation, fun, costumes, decorations, but don’t forget the CANDY.. all the CANDY! ! ! Here are some tips for Halloween evening on October 31st, to help with keeping the kids well rested: Make sure your kiddos gets some good rest leading up to the big event. Put them to bed a bit early the night before and make sure they get a good nap (or rest/quiet time if they do not nap anymore) the day of trick or treating. (November 1st).Parents, don’t forget to check your little ones’ bag of candy to make sure it’s safe for them to eat.

On Thursday morning, start by offering breakfast 15 minutes later than normal, then naptime 15 minutes later and so on until the entire daytime schedule has been shifted. The gradual shift should help their internal clocks adjust, making it less likely that they will wake an hour early on Sunday morning! If your child does wake earlier than you would like, try to leave them to amuse themselves until the normal wake up time to give their internal clocks a chance to reset. If you expose them to light in the evening, it will shift their clock later, making it easier to fall asleep later and wake up later.
