Ruach Akademie

As die hoof verjaar en koek is nie genoeg nie.

Terugflits van juffrou Na-ike se verjaarsdag by Krabbefontein.

Ons het soveel pret gehad!

🌿 Ons hoërskoolleerders het tydens hul Vaardigheidsvrydag 'n positiewe verskil gemaak!

Bossies is uitgehaal, kompos is by die grond gevoeg en drie nuwe vrugtebome is geplant. Vele hande, groot verskil! 🌱🍎

Saam bou ons aan 'n groener, mooier en meer volhoubare omgewing. 💚

You let them stay up "just this once." A family event. A late movie. A weekend with no rules. It feels harmless.

Their body disagrees.

Deep sleep is when the body does its most important repair work. Growth hormone is released almost exclusively during slow wave sleep, which happens in the first few hours after falling asleep. Pushing bedtime later cuts that window short. The body simply does not have enough time to finish the job.

The consequences show up fast. A tired child is not just sleepy. They are irritable, impulsive, and emotionally explosive. The prefrontal cortex, which controls behavior and decision making, is highly sensitive to sleep loss. Without enough rest, a child cannot regulate their emotions or think clearly. That is not bad behavior. That is a brain running on empty.

Physical growth suffers too. Growth hormone is released in pulses during deep sleep. Children with consistently late bedtimes have been shown to have lower growth hormone secretion, which can affect height and muscle development over time.

The immune system takes a hit as well. Sleep deprived children get sick more often and take longer to recover. Cytokines, the proteins that fight infection, are produced during sleep. Missing that window leaves the body vulnerable.

Here is what parents can do. Set a consistent bedtime, even on weekends. The body craves routine. Create a wind down period with no screens at least one hour before sleep. Blue light delays melatonin production. Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Watch for signs of sleep deprivation. Waking up groggy, falling asleep during car rides, and sudden mood swings are all red flags.

One late night will not ruin your child. But a pattern of late nights will. Their body is building itself while they sleep. Do not let the clock steal that time.

🍳 Sjef Dae by Ruach Akademie – waar leer heerlik word! 🍳

Ouers, stel julle voor jou kind leer nie net wiskunde uit 'n boek nie, maar meet, weeg, verdubbel resepte en bereken kostes terwyl hulle die lekkerste disse maak!

Ons Sjef Dae is een van ons gewildste ekstra aktiwiteite:
Wat leer leerders?
🌮Praktiese wiskundige toepassing
(metings, verhoudings, begrotings)
🍜Ontwikkel lewensvaardighede
(spanwerk, beplanning, higiëne, tydsbestuur)
🥪Bou selfvertroue terwyl hulle kreatief kook
En boonop met 'n glimlag huis toe gaan met iets lekkers!

Dit is leer deur doen – die Ruach-manier!

Wil jy hê jou kind moet hierdie ervaring beleef?

Stuur ons 'n WhatsApp vir meer inligting en word deel van die Ruach familie.
