TIRED

Tiredness makes bodies slow and minds fuzzy. Recognizing when tiredness shows up helps children learn when it's time to rest, recharge, and care for themselves.

Supporting children identify their emotions

Tips for Parents

🌟 Name the Emotion
Help your child recognize tiredness by saying:
"You look really tired — your yawns and slow movements are telling us it’s time to rest."


🌟 Encourage Rest
Create calm routines for winding down:
"Let’s find a cozy spot together."


🌟 Listen to the Body
Teach children to notice their own body signals — yawns, heavy eyes, droopy faces — as cues for rest.

Bonus Tip


If tiredness turns into crankiness:

  • Stay calm and soothing — a gentle tone and soft light can help the body settle faster.
