Having trouble falling asleep at night? ๐ก
The light from your electronic devices could be to blame. Blue light suppresses melatonin, the sleep hormone our bodies need to power down at night. This is especially disruptive for children.
Dim device screens, use "night mode" settings, or try blue light blocking glasses to minimize the effects. Establishing relaxing, screen-free pre-bed routines also helps.

Kids internalize the values they observe. A key to being a good role model is setting healthy boundaries.
