Self kindness is often found in small, intentional choices that support your well being throughout the day. Prioritizing nourishment, rest, and comfort are not rewards to be earned but essential parts of healing. Giving yourself permission to meet your needs can be a powerful act of care in recovery.

This article is a reminder that kids need guidance, boundaries, and support as they navigate online spaces. Open conversations and awareness can help protect their well-being.
