The importance of sleep for our national school children 

A Planet Youth webinar for parents.
This is a webinar that was organised in response to what the data is telling us, in the Planet Youth surveys, about the poor sleep that our teenagers are getting, and the dramatic effect it is having on their lives.
Planet Youth, as a primary prevention model, gives us as parents together, the opportunity to address and prevent problems before they arise. Planet Youth in the West of Ireland has been doing quite a bit of work providing information for the parents of first-year children around the time that they start in secondary school. This webinar and the Parent Power initiative, is the start of our efforts to introduce and strengthen parent networking in our national schools. Having good networks is a proven protective factor for children and makes life as a parent easier too!
If you're a national school parent, keep an eye on the parentpower.planetyouth.ie website for updates, or sign up to the Planet Youth mailing list on the planetyouth.ie website.
In the meantime though, if you feel that you'd like to get involved more actively in something like this, as a parent, as a teacher, or as a national school, and you're in the West of Ireland, just get in touch through the info@planetyouth.ie address.
We hope you find the webinar useful, there's loads of really good information. Some timestamps are below and Emmet and Lucy's slides are attached to the version of this video that is on the planetyouth.ie website.
