Monday: The Impact of Screens on Mental Health

📢 It’s Children’s Mental Health Week!
Today, let’s talk about how screens affect our children’s well-being. Excessive screen time, especially social media, has been linked to increased anxiety, poor sleep, and low self-esteem. But it’s not just about limiting time—it’s about quality over quantity.

📌 Try this: Encourage tech-free zones at home, like during meals and before bedtime. This simple step can improve sleep and encourage real-world conversations.

💬 What are your family’s screen time rules?
