Three small things that make a big difference for kids this summer: protect sleep, unplug together, and get outside.

Psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour shares a simple framework for making summer truly restorative. She calls it S.U.N.:

Sleep โ€” keep it protected, even when schedules loosen up

Unplug โ€” set tech boundaries as a family routine, not a one-time rule

Nature โ€” even a short time outdoors restores attention and lowers stress

Our first thought isnโ€™t always the most helpful one.
It usually shows up fast and feels true in the moment.

Taking a second to slow it down and look at it a little differently can make things feel more manageable. ๐Ÿ’™
