How Noise Impacts Children

Does your home or classroom get a little too loud sometimes? While kids thrive in active environments, too much noise can have surprising effects on their focus and emotions.

1. Noise and Stress
Loud, constant noise can increase stress levels in children, making it harder for them to concentrate or relax.

2. Learning and Focus
Children need quiet moments to absorb new information. Excessive background noise, like a loud TV, can interfere with their ability to focus and learn.

3. Emotional Well-being
A calm, quiet environment helps kids regulate their emotions, ensuring they feel safe and secure.

At Miss Amy’s Neighborhood Preschool, we balance active play with calm, quiet activities to give children the best environment for learning and growing.

Action Step: Noise isn’t all bad, but finding a healthy balance is key. Try turning off background sounds and adding quiet moments to your child’s day—you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes!
