📵Screens are part of everyday life. Homework, socializing, gaming, and scrolling all add up. Too much screen time can leave us feeling drained, distracted, and even stressed without realizing it.
This week’s self-care reminder: manage your screen time so it doesn’t manage you.

Try this simple family reset:
📱 Pick one screen-free time today (even just 30 to 60 minutes)🎲 Do something together instead. Play a game, take a walk, cook, or just talk.
🔕 Turn off non-important notifications for the day
😴 Set a "phones down" time before bed
Small boundaries with technology can improve sleep, mood, focus, and family connection. These are all protective factors that help youth build resilience and make healthy choices.
Self-Care Challenge: What is one small boundary you could set with screens this week?
Journal Prompt: How does my mood change when I take a break from screens? What is one thing I enjoy doing that does not involve my phone?
