Every child needs plenty of sleep in order to keep them really healthy and happy. I remember when I was a kid myself, I was practically asleep all day.

Although there are times that they even need to take a nap. Here are some warning signs that your child may need a nap.

1. Acting sleepy all day.
2. Feeling cranky or fussy late in the afternoon.
3. Having difficulty getting out of bed in the morning.
4. Difficulty in concentrating, hyperactivity, aggression or impatience.
5. Having problems concentrating on tasks and school works.

A little boy has been bringing his drawings home from kindergarten everyday since he started a month ago. Each day his mother admires the pictures and hangs them on the refrigerator.
One thing starts bothering her though. The boy only uses black and brown for his drawings.

Fearing a problem with her young son and not wanting to make it worse, she decides to take him to a child psychologist.

The psychologist delicately goes to work. He gives the boy a battery of psychological tests. He chats with him. Everything seems perfectly normal. Everyday for two weeks, the tests continue. Yet everyday, the boy continues to bring home drawings in only black and brown.

Frustrated at not being able to get to the root of the problem and fearful that something is terribly wrong, the child psychologist decides to give the kid some paper and a box of crayons and observe what happens.

The boy opens the box of crayons and says, "Oh boy! A new box of crayons! At school we only have old boxes. The only ones left in mine are black and brown!"
