2 Books That Teach Children the Importance of Sleep

Erin Sluka
2018 Parenting Healthy Gift Guide Feature: Books about Importance of Sleep

The topic of sleep with kids is not discussed often enough. Anthony is going on 11 years old and I find that I get the best response from him when I don’t use a ‘because I said so’ tone and instead educate and really explain my reasonings. Sleep is as important as diet and exercise so a child needs to just feel for themselves how much better they are after healthy sleep.

In the book, Devin & Evan Play Fortnite ‘Til 11, the twins quickly get too attached to their game. It begins to effect their sleep and they are so tired the next day. With some rules and understanding of the importance of sleep, the brothers realize how much better they feel when they have healthy amounts of play time and stop early in the day to get ready for evening.

In the book, Devin & Evan Slep from 8-7, learn why sleep is so important for their physical health, emotional well being, behavior, and success at school. 

Get your copy of these books. They make great gifts! Available on Amazon.

Swagtron T380 Hoverboard for Beginners and Advanced Riders

Erin Sluka
2018 Parenting Healthy Gift Guide Feature: Swagtron T380 Hoverboard

Believe it or not, Anthony has never owned a hoverboard until now at almost 11 years old. His cousins and some friends have one and he loves to ride theirs, but he has never owned one. When the Swagtron T380 arrived and I dug deep into the features I felt it was a perfect first hoverboard.

Then I took it out of the box and thought how advanced and durable it looked. It was like something I expect a professional to own. He has the white and it is a beautiful pearl-like color. You can just feel how solid this hoverboard is.

The thing is, the T380 is for both beginners and Advanced riders. For the beginner, there is a learning mode that will increase balance detection and restrict speeds. Once you have it down, switch to Standard Mode and ditch the restrictions!

Other features of the Swagtron T380

  • Internal self-balancing technology
  • Upgraded dual 250W motors
  • Top-quality battery charging and performance
  • Riders of all shapes and sizes up to 220 pounds (100 kilograms), charge up their boards in 2-3 short hours.
  • Indicator lights in the center of the hoverboard as well as on the front and back. 
  • Learning and Standard Modes can be switched from the hoverboard itself. Or use the Swagtron app to switch to Advanced Mode and use your smartphone as your hoverboard’s remote.
  • Expert riders can download the SWAGTRON app from the App or Google Play store.
