 “We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” Stacia Tauscher Can you imagine bringing a newborn home from the hospital and wrapping him in a blanket and when you have to put him down to sleep you put him on a rug on top of a concrete floor, because not only do you not have a crib but you don't have a bed for yourself either. You say this mother should be able to provide for her newborn child and not bring him into this world if she can't provide a decent bed for him. But what you don't know is she just left a battered woman's shelter and this was the safest enviornment she could offer her newborn child. So she cried bringing her child home because she had to choose no furniture so that she could provide safety for herself and protection for her child. Imagine now being this mother and finding out that Beds For Kids cared about her child and provided him a crib to sleep on.  We all assume that all children have a bed to sleep on. In fact, millions sleep on the floor every night. They would pass up getting toys to be a normal child with a bed. We need your support to help us provide a bed for children in need!

WebMD Medical News March 3, 2003 -- Kids beg, they whine: "Can we stay up just a little longer?" Well, there's evidence now that sleep deprivation brought about by even one less hour of sleep does make a difference in a how well a child learns the next day. "Even minor changes in sleep ... can impair a school kid's learning, memory, attention, concentration," researcher Avi Sadeh, DSc, director of the Laboratory for Children's Sleep and Arousal Disorders at Tel Aviv University, tells WebMD. His study appears in the current issue of Child Development. It points to the need for establishing a "sleep ritual" for young children, says Glenn Isaacson, MD, chief of the pediatric ear, nose and throat service at Temple Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. He commented on Sadeh's study for WebMD.
