🧔 Happy World Beard Day!

To the middle school boy wondering why his friend has a mustache and he has approximately three rebellious chin hairs…

You’re fine. 😂

Some guys grow facial hair early. Some grow it later. Some grow a lot. Some grow a little.

There is a HUGE range of normal when it comes to puberty, and comparing your body to your friends' bodies isn't particularly helpful.

So whether you've got a magnificent beard, a baby mustache, or you're still waiting for your first whisker…

Your puberty timeline is your own. 💙

HAPPY FIRST DAY!!

🌟 Back-to-School Tip #5: Get Involved!

School is about more than just classes. Encourage your child to join a club, try out for a team, participate in the school play, volunteer, or attend after-school events.

Getting involved helps students build friendships, discover new interests, develop confidence, and feel more connected to their school community.

You never know where one new opportunity might lead! 💙

📱 Back-to-School Tip #2: Limit Screen Time for Better Sleep

Screens are part of everyday life, but too much screen time (especially before bed) can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Try turning off phones, tablets, TVs, and gaming devices at least 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Instead, encourage reading, drawing, listening to music, or talking about the day.

A good night's sleep helps students wake up refreshed and ready to learn! 🌙✨

Anybody else feel like this summer flew by so quickly?! It's that time again...

📚 Back-to-School Tip #1: Reset Sleep Schedules Early

The first day of school is much easier when everyone is well-rested!

Instead of making a big change the night before school starts, try moving your child's bedtime and wake-up time 15 minutes earlier every few days. Small adjustments can help their body ease back into a school routine.

💤 School-aged children need 8–10 hours of sleep each night to support learning, focus, mood, and overall health.

Starting now can make those early mornings a little less stressful for both kids and parents! 🌞

📖 10 Minutes That Matter: Week 5

We've made it through National Anti-Boredom Month!

For our final challenge, spend 10 minutes sharing stories.

Parents and caregivers: Tell your child about one of your favorite childhood memories.

Maybe it was a family vacation, a funny adventure with friends, a favorite holiday tradition, or a special moment with someone you loved.

Then ask your child:

💬 "What's your favorite memory?"

Take turns sharing what made those moments meaningful and memorable.

Storytelling is a powerful way to connect across generations. When children hear stories from the adults in their lives, they learn about family history, values, and experiences that helped shape who you are today. Sharing memories also helps children reflect on positive experiences and recognize the people and moments that matter most to them.

Sometimes the best way to spend 10 minutes isn't by doing something new—it's by remembering something special together.

❤️ We'd love to hear from you: What's one childhood memory you'll never forget?

Thank you for joining us for our "10 Minutes That Matter" challenges this month. We hope these simple activities helped your family spend a little less time bored and a little more time connected.

🤝 10 Minutes That Matter: Week 4

This week's activity is simple but meaningful:

Ask your child:
💬 "What makes someone a good friend?"

Take turns sharing your answers. You might talk about qualities like kindness, honesty, trustworthiness, respect, encouragement, or simply being there when someone needs help.

As you discuss, consider asking follow-up questions:
• Which friendship quality is most important to you?
• How do good friends treat each other during disagreements?
• How can you be a good friend to others?

These conversations help children and teens develop the skills needed to build healthy relationships. They also remind us that friendship is about more than having fun together—it's about treating others with care and respect.

Strong friendships can have a positive impact on mental, emotional, and social well-being throughout life.

💭 What quality do you think is most important in a good friend? Share your answer in the comments!
