Vikten av barnens sömn, vila och avslappning i förskolan. : En kvalitativ forskning utifrån pedagogers erfarenheter kring sömn, vila och avslappning i förskolan.

Sammanfattning: This research paper is about educator's thought on the importance of sleep, rest and relaxation for children in preschool, both young and older children. In order to gain an understanding of how educators think about the importance of children's sleep, rest and relaxation during a day at preschool, I have used qualitative interviews with six educators at two different preschools in Lidköping Municipality. Based on the interviews as well as research on the need of sleep, rest and relaxation in preschool, I have analyzed and interpreted the data material. Overall, the study has shown that it is important that children have time for relaxation and recovery during their day at preschool. The study also shows that children of different ages need different types of sleep, rest and relaxation. The study also shows that the children's sleep, rest and relaxation are important for their well-being in preschool and how it can affect their learning and development.
