Researchers evaluated three household routines when children were 3 years old: regular bedtime, regular mealtime and whether or not parents limited television and video watching to an hour or less daily. Little kids' regular bedtimes and ability to regulate emotions may lessen Obesity risk Study finds link between routines, emotions and weightCOLUMBUS, Ohio – Family structure including regular bedtimes, mealtimes and limited screen time appear to be linked to better emotional health in preschoolers, and that might lower the chances of obesity later, a new study suggests. Obesity risk increased even when children "usually" had a regular bedtime, as opposed to "always." The risk was greatest for those who had the least amount of consistency in their bedtimes. Lastly, they investigated how the routines and self-regulation worked together to impact obesity at age 11, defined based on international criteria. Anderson and her colleagues also found that the absence of a regular preschool bedtime was an independent predictor of obesity at 11.

Researchers also found that the absence of a regular preschool bedtime was an independent predictor of obesity at 11. At age 11, about 6 per cent were obese.

Routine bedtime may protect pre-schoolers from obesity

Lastly, they investigated how the routines and self-regulation worked together to impact obesity at age 11, defined based on international criteria. Researchers evaluated three household routines when children were three years old -- regular bedtime, regular mealtime and whether or not parents limited television and video watching to an hour or less daily. Then they compared those to parents' reports of two aspects of children's self-regulation at that same age.
