What Makes Kids Smarter?… Good Quality Sleep

A terrific article from Nurture Shock says:

“A loss of one hour of sleep is equivalent to [the loss of] two years of cognitive maturation and development”

… and goes on to discuss how sleep deprivation or even reduction can cause a significant and measurable impact on their grades.

Teens who received A’s averaged about fifteen more minutes sleep than the B students, who in turn averaged fifteen more minutes than the C’s, and so on. Wahlstrom’s data was an almost perfect replication of results from an earlier study of over 3,000 Rhode Island high schoolers by Brown’s Carskadon. Certainly, these are averages, but the consistency of the two studies stands out. Every fifteen minutes counts.

We don’t dumb anything down, instead we try to elevate a child’s thinking with stunning images, great articles, quizzes, puzzles and more.

A curious, engaged child will develop their own thoughts and ideas, without being ‘told’ what to think, or how to solve problems.

CUBiC Magazine is A5, 48 pages and not only printed on FSC paper (Forest Stewardship Council), but also delivered in a recyclable plastic envelope.

It’s not glossy or riddled with cartoon characters.

We’re so proud of CUBiC Magazine that we suggest to keep each issue after reading because it is not a throw-away item (despite being recyclable).

We don’t shy away from dealing with important issues such as mental health in sports and protecting your ears when you listen to music.

With our hugely combined experience of writing courses and delivering them worldwide, we know what works. The founders Neil and Kim have children of their own who help contribute ideas us what they’d like to see in a magazine.

Why A5? So it fits into your child’s backpack or bedside draw.
