Pak Eric, itu saya tahu dari beberapa bacaan, salah satunya dari Webmd.com yang
saya kutipkan di bawah ini. Judul aslinya: How much sleep do children need?
thanks,
Indah
7-12 Years
Old
: 10 - 11 hours per day
At these ages, with social, school, and family activities,
bedtimes gradually become later and later, with most 12-years-olds going to bed
at about 9 p.m. There is still a wide range of bedtimes, from 7:30 - 10 p.m.,
as well as total sleep times, from 9 - 12 hours, although the average is only 9
½ hours.
Sleep needs do not decrease and remain vitally important to
your child's health, development, and well-being. Without the proper amount of
sleep, your child will become increasingly sleepy during the day. Those
children with a history of sleep problems see them persist. They do not
"outgrow them."
In his book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, Marc
Weissbluth, MD, sums up what you may find in children who routinely do not get
the sleep they need, with a bit of a Catch 22: "School achievement
difficulties were found more often among poor sleepers compared to good
sleepers.... Young children who have difficulty sleeping become older children
with more academic problems. But children who are academically successful risk
not getting the sleep they need!"

Saya prihatin sekali membaca berita ini. Kasihan anak-anak kita, sudah
terbebani banyak tugas masih harus direpoti dengan bangun pagi-pagi sekali.
Jangan lupa, anak-anak perlu jam tidur yang cukup, paling tidak 11 jam sehari,
terutama yang masih di bawah 10 tahun. Kalau masuk sekolah jam 6.30 berarti
mereka harus bangun jam 5 atau 5.15, berarti harus pergi tidur jam 5 atau 6
sore? Mungkinkah? Belum lagi ditambah dengan kerepotan orang tua menyiapkan
segala keperluan mereka, apalagi kalau si ortu juga bekerja di luar rumah.
Padahal kalau ortu stress, anak juga stress dan hari-hari akan disambut dengan
berat hati.
Saya takut anak-anak kita akan memandang sekolah sebagai sesuatu yang
menakutkan. Padahal pembelajaran yang sukses harus dimulai dengan sikap riang,
iklas, dan semangat.
Semoga bisa ada dialog untuk mengatasi hal ini.
Indah(ortu yang prihatin)
