hharvey+FollowLet’s Rethink How We Talk About Melatonin With Our KidsLately, I’ve noticed how casually we toss around the idea of giving kids melatonin for sleep—almost like it’s a harmless bedtime snack. I remember the first time I considered it for my own child, feeling both desperate for rest and uneasy about relying on a supplement. It’s easy to forget that even natural remedies can have real effects on little bodies. As parents, we owe it to our kids to pause and really think about the long-term impact before reaching for a quick fix. Sleep struggles are tough, but maybe the answer isn’t always found in a bottle. Have you ever questioned your own approach to sleep solutions? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! #ParentingJourney #MindfulParenting #FamilyWellness #SleepMatters #Parenting11Share

kristina38+Followyour pizza habit might be killing you slowlyIt's not just one slice of cheese pizza (300 calories) that's the problem. It's the reality: most teens eat 2-3 slices plus soda, turning lunch into a 750-1150 calorie bomb—over half your daily needs in one meal. Those excess calories become fat, which contributes to diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. The domino effect continues: heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and amputations follow. This isn't fear-mongering—it's the standard progression when consistently consuming more calories than your body needs.
