Not all sumpong are the same! 😅

Tantrum = your child wants something.
Meltdown = your child is overwhelmed.

📱💤 Kids + Screens + Sleep = A tricky mix!

Did you know that too much screen time before bed can delay sleep, cause crankiness, and affect focus the next day? 😫 Blue light from gadgets tells the brain it’s still daytime, making it harder for your child to wind down and rest. 🌙

✨ Try this tonight:
🕒 Set a “tech curfew” 1 hour before bed
🚫 Keep gadgets out of bedrooms
📚 Swap screens for stories or quiet play

Small bedtime habits = big wins for your child’s mood, learning, and growth. 💜
