Children tend to thrive when they have a routine, which, for many families, is something the pandemic has inevitably disrupted. As kids try to navigate virtual learning and don't have the same level of structure, they may feel anxious and struggle to sleep well, which can negatively affect their mood and academic performance. However, some parents have discovered that bed tents can improve a child's ability to sleep for a variety of reasons: they reduce bright sunlight, help eliminate distractions, and add a layer of security. For kids who struggle with sensory processing disorder, bed tents can be especially helpful to reduce visual stimulation. Many bed tents also have themes that kids love, like PAW Patrol, dinosaurs, and outer space. Keep reading for 19 bed tent options you can consider for your child.
