Calling All Warriors💙Saturday Suggestion📣We must make sure every child knows that someone is listening.

Start with a conversation, not a confrontation. Ask your child what they’re experiencing online, what makes them anxious and whether anything frightens or upsets them. Establish reasonable technology boundaries and protect sleep. Make time for meals, conversations, reading and activities without devices. If your child is struggling emotionally, seek a thorough professional evaluation. If medication is prescribed, ask questions, understand the warnings and maintain follow-up appointments. And if a child is already taking psychiatric medication, never discontinue it abruptly without medical guidance. Most importantly, reassure your children that they can come to you without shame or fear.
