Is your Child's Bedroom a Haven or a Hazard?

Do you remember being sent to your room as a child for time out, and being happy or sad?

I was always happy as it meant I could go and read and maybe the jobs would be done by my other siblings before I was allowed out!

However mum caught on to this pretty quickly so at times I would be sent to my brother’s room which had nothing in it I liked in it.

Times have now changed and we have so many cool gadgets for kids in this Tech savvy world that I wonder how they feel if sent to their room for time out or to go to sleep at night? Is it a haven or a hazard?

Do you allow your child to read before bed or play with the ipad? Do they watch movies or play games whilst in bed and is this a soothing down time before sleep?

We are, as adults probably just as guilty of phones by the bed, TV’s in the bedroom and ipads at the ready when we go to sleep or wake up but does it really help us wind down?

We didn't allow our children to have a TV in the bedroom when they were growing up as we thought they would become anti social and forget how to sit as a family and laugh at shows together. Did we do the right thing? I think so.

My favourite way to go to sleep is still reading a good book, tucked under the covers with the soft glow of a bedside light and so do my daughters!

I would like to think we can all  have some quiet areas for both our children and ourselves that we can retreat to at the end of a day, to just relax and unwind as it really doesn't matter how young or old you are we all need some warm nurturing homely rooms to enjoy!
