Idea to send:	Topic Children Content My husband and I visited the State Fair yesterday (Thursday) evening. Upon leaving at 9:00 pm, we noticed hoards of families just arriving - with their young preschool and school-aged children. Bad enough on the weekend, but this was a weeknight! Those little ones needed to be home in bed, not on their way to 3 hours of games and rides. My idea is to have a campaign to encourage parents to give their children a good night's sleep. We have public information messages and billboards promoting breast feeding and our schools have a nutrition program; we often hear about the benefits of physical exercise, and kids get some sort of PE throughout school. Now we need to expand the emphasis on childhood health to include the importance of rest. How can our children learn when they're either too tired to pay attention or kept out of school altogether so their parents can have fun?
