One stressor that I have seen effect children directly is a noisy area. One of my students live in an apartment complex; and for the past few weeks he has been extremely cranky in the morning. When I talked to his mom about this, she said that they have new neighbors and it is hard for her son to go to sleep due the loudness. This not only affects how he behaves at school, but also it is not beneficial to the development of his growing brain. Kids need an ample amount of sleep, in due to him getting less than six hours a night is taking a toll on him.
I wonder how do children react to noise in big cities like Las Vegas, Nevada. This city is very busy and always full of busy people. I did find out that there is something called a noise ordinance which sets the limits on the level of noise during certain time frames. If one is found to breaking this law, then a complaint can be filed against them. However, kids that are normally around a lot of noise, are not impacted by it as much. They have grown accustomed to the loudness, which in returns has little or no effect on them.
Hello Miss Minor
ReplyDeleteHello I can agree with you on this. My family member experience something like your student did. What my family member did she reported them to the manger just as you mention above how children need proper sleep that is true. According to (Kids health 2009) Preschoolers sleep about 10 to 12 hours during each 24-hour period, but there's no need to be firm about which 10 to 12 hours these are. The most significant thing is to help kid’s mature good habits for getting to. Just as you mention This not only affects how he obey the rules at school, but also it is not valuable to the development of his growing brain. As you stated children “need an ample amount of sleep, in due to him getting less than six hours a night is taking a toll on him.” I agree I like to thank you for sharing this with your classmates and I pray that thing will get better for you and your student have a great week!

Kayla,
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing out the effects of noise on young children, especially when noise interrupts their required number hours of sleep in order to sustain their healthy development from a biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial domain. Our former neighbors liked to have parties and since the houses are twins (attached), we heard the noise through both music and voices into the early hours of the morning. My family consists of adults and we were affected by this noise. I can't even imagine having young children and trying to manage consistent sleep patterns with this level of disturbance. Yes, there are noise ordinances, but some people (unfortunately) ignore them.
