From infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teens, parents want to know how many hours of sleep are recommended. While it's true that sleep needs vary from one person to another, there are some very reasonable, science-based guidelines to help you determine whether your child is getting the sleep he or she needs to grow, learn, and play.

Infants (4 to 12 months) - 12 to 16 hours (including naps)

Toddlers (1 to 2 years) - 11 to 14 hours (including naps)

Preschoolers (3 to 5 years) - 10 to 13 hours (including naps)

Grade-schoolers (6 to 12 years) - 9 to 12 hours

Teens (13 to 18 years) - 8 to 10 hours

Romance is in the air, and you have big plans. Maybe a candlelit dinner and a couple’s massage? After all, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the one you love. But with all the romance, it can be easy to forget about celebrating some of the other people you love most — your kids. While most Valentine’s Day celebrations center on couples, your kids don’t want to be left out!

Between dinner reservations and buying chocolates, you might be wondering how you can squeeze in more time to do something sweet for your kids. These ideas will help you celebrate with some of the sweetest younger people in your life.
