The Rest Advantage: The Science of Sleep, Recovery & Mental Strength A Fun, Interactive Guide for Kids Ages 8-13 Featuring Real Science, Real Stories, (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798190023831)

What if one of the most powerful ways to help your child succeed wasn't another worksheet, another activity, or another hour of practice.

What if it was learning how to rest?

Today's children are growing up in a world filled with busy schedules, homework, sports, screens, and constant stimulation. Many are taught how to work harder, but very few are taught how to recover.

The Rest Advantage changes that.

This beautifully illustrated, full-color nonfiction book helps children ages 8-13 discover the science behind sleep, recovery, focus, creativity, emotional well-being, and healthy daily habits through engaging stories, real-world science, hands-on activities, and one unforgettable companion:

Snug- Your Rest Guide.

Instead of telling children to "go to bed earlier," this book helps them understand why rest is one of the greatest superpowers they already have.

Inside they will discover:

- Why your brain continues learning while you sleep
