⏰ Daylight Saving Time Ends This Sunday, November 2!
Setting the clocks back an hour might not seem like a big deal, but it can disrupt bedtime routines — especially for toddlers and young children. The good news: with a little preparation, you can make the transition smooth.

🕰 1. Adjust bedtime gradually
▪️Start 3–4 days before the change.
▪️Move bedtime and wake-up time 10–15 minutes later each day.
By Sunday, your child’s internal clock will already be closer to the new schedule.

🌞 2. Get morning sunlight
▪️Once the time changes, spend time outside in the morning light to help reset their body clock.
▪️Even 15–20 minutes during breakfast or on the way to school can help regulate melatonin.

🌙 3. Dim lights in the evening
▪️As it gets dark earlier, use soft, warm lighting indoors.
▪️Avoid screens (TV, tablets, phones) for 30–60 minutes before bed, since blue light delays sleepiness.

The immunization schedule is created to ensure they are as effective as possible to protect your child fr...

💬 Many young people who experience suicidal thoughts don’t bring it up on their own. That’s why it’s so important for pediatricians — and parents — to start the conversation.

Your child’s pediatrician can help by creating a personalized su***de prevention safety plan — a written guide your child, teen, or young adult can use to stay safe when suicidal thoughts arise.

A safety plan includes:
✅ How to recognize warning signs
✅ Healthy coping strategies
✅ Supportive people who can help in a crisis
✅ 24/7 professional resources to call or text for help
