Mixing kids and the start of daylight saving time can lead to headaches for their grown-ups. Here's how to help the little ones adjust.
Daylight saving time is about to begin. And while it is an inconvenience for most people in the United States, the time change could lead to grumpy babies and irritable toddlers.
On Sunday, March 8, most of the United States will set its clocks forward by an hour.
And while many are collectively groaning at the idea of losing an hour of sleep, parents with young children and babies are fearing having to deal with a fussy and sleepy child who doesn't understand why they lost an hour of sleep.
"This shift affects the body’s internal clock, which regulates sleep, energy levels, mood, and attention," according to Nuvance Health's website. "Because children rely heavily on routine, even a small change can lead to bedtime resistance, early waking, irritability and difficulty concentrating at school."
While the time change might feel daunting to parents, there are a few ways to help little ones transition.
