Adults should remember that children can also experience fatigue or burnout.

Most often this happens if the student is overloaded not only with studies, but also with additional classes or even household chores.

Therefore, mothers and fathers need to closely monitor the child’s condition so that he has time to rest.

But how do you know if a schoolchild is tired? Here you need to pay attention to behavior. There are five signs that prove that a child is overtired.

Sleep problems

If your baby can’t fall asleep or doesn’t wake up for a long time in the morning, then this is already a cause for concern.

Intermittent sleep, grinding of teeth in sleep and twitching are also signs of a problem.

Loss of appetite

If the child refuses to eat or overeats, it is better to visit a doctor. You cannot delay this.

Forgetfulness

When an attentive and responsible child starts to constantly forget and lose something, his mood disappears or he becomes too apathetic, then you need to pay attention to his condition and talk to him.

Emotionality

If a child has become too aggressive, whiny or capricious, and there is no reason for this, then you should take the time to have a calm conversation.

Most often, children react this way if they are tired or have problems at school. Such signs cannot be ignored, otherwise it can only lead to more serious consequences.

Problems with immunity

When overtired, the baby may complain of weakness, fever, and other symptoms that resemble immune problems.

In addition, a schoolchild can actually get sick too often even if he was previously in good health.
