Woo-hoo! Your Child's Active Hours Are Now More Than His Sleeping Hours

Team AckoJan 30, 2025

By this age, your child takes only one nap per day. So now, your child has probably given up his morning nap, sleeping only for an hour or two after lunch. Any more than that may be too much and cut into his night-time sleep. The brighter side of this is he is now more active during day time and gradually stepping into the threshold of becoming a big boy!

Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

What you need to know

Sleep schedule shifts are very natural in your child's growth and development. In fact, as he grows up, by their third birthday, most children are down to a single one to two hour afternoon nap after lunch, a pattern some keep until they are 5. Your child may feel sleepy sometimes before noon, they sometimes become cranky for lack of sleep, and as they grow older, your child will be interested in playing rather in sleeping.

Nap routines

Have your child nap in the same place that they sleep at night. A set naptime in a set place will ensure that your child gets the sleep they needs. The best time for naps is the early afternoon. Don't let your child nap past 4 p.m., or they will have problems going to sleep at bedtime. At least three hours should elapse between the end of a nap and bedtime.

Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

Your child's all-round development combines formal education and creative activities. Mosaic art, for instance, develops hand-eye coordination and boosts confidence, which are the precursors to intellectual and emotional development.

Just as nurturing your child’s growth requires attention, securing the future involves proactive financial planning. Term insurance will provide your loved ones with financial protection for unforeseen emergencies. Considering the rising living costs, choosing a 1 crore term insurance plan will ensure sound protection.

When deciding on a life insurance plan, use a term insurance calculator to estimate the right coverage and premiums and always choose a plan that guarantees long-term financial security.
