Is Spring Fever a thing?

Spring forward, spring cleaning, spring break...spring is definitely a time of year that we are conditioned to look forward to renewal. Spring is a time of year that life seems to open up to us. It brings the energy of fresh and new ideas and experiences. We begin to make summer plans and get outside. 

There is debate about whether or not Spring Fever is "real". The mood shifts and other experiences of many people are true. Increased sunlight and warmer weather is real. This does lead to a spike in mood and energy. The reality is that is shows up differently for everyone.

The AAP recommends the following (healthychildren.org):

  • Children 6 to 12 years of age should sleep 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

  • Children 6 years and older need 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days of the week (free play and organized sports focused on fun).

  • The AAP recommends that families create a Media Plan in order to address the multifaceted impacts that all kinds of media and screen time have on children. Attached to this report is a Tip Sheet for parents on screen time. Additionally, create your family media plan here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/media/Pages/default.aspx
