At this age, your kid needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep. However, with an ever hectic lifestyle, it is important to maintain a balance and strike a routine so that your child gets the required hours of sleep. Decide sleeping hours and pattens for your child. Make sure your child sleeps between 7 to 9 PM in the night and be up by 6 and 8 AM. Your child will not normally be interested to take any naps and even if he does, it would be for a shorter time. Though ideally your child will need 10-12 hours of sleep, with school and other activities the kids now-a-days engage in, 9 hours average sleep is must to keep him healthy and energetic.
