How much screen time is too much? Instead of focusing only on the clock, consider whether screens are replacing sleep, active play, schoolwork or time together as a family.

Children learn healthy screen habits by watching the adults around them. Putting phones away during meals, conversations and family activities shows children that being present matters. Creating a healthy balance can help children enjoy technology while still making room for the activities that support their growth and well-being.

Everyone needs human connection. For our loved ones with disabilities, it’s especially important. Learn about creating connections for your loved one.

Your circle of connections may be big or small. They may live nearby or far away. They may consist of family members, ex-family members, neighbors or people you have worked with or have gone to school with. It looks different for everyone, but those are your people. That’s your network.

Hot Texas days can make it easier to get dehydrated, and dehydration may leave your body feeling more tired, stiff, or achy. Drinking enough water supports healthy joints, muscles, and everyday movement, especially during the summer months.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, which makes it a great time to build better sun safety habits. Too much UV exposure can lead to sunburn, premature aging, eye damage, and a higher risk of skin cancer. Use sunscreen, wear sunglasses, seek shade when possible, and choose hats or protective clothing when you are spending time outdoors.

If you notice a new or changing spot on your skin, or one that bleeds or does not heal, do not ignore it. Call Sandhills Family Clinic to schedule a visit and talk with a provider about your concerns.

A few simple stretches in the morning can help your body wake up and get moving. Gentle stretching may help loosen stiff muscles, support flexibility, and make everyday movement feel a little easier. Start small with a few minutes of movement before your day begins.

If you have pain, an injury, or mobility concerns, talk with your provider or our Physical Therapy department about which stretches are safe for you.
