𝗘𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗮𝗶 📚😬

Dis maklik om te d**k dat “meer leer” altyd die antwoord is, maar dikwels is dit die klein goedjies wat die grootste verskil maak vir fokus, energie en emosies.

😴 𝟭. 𝗚𝗼𝗲𝗶𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗽
Slaap is die groot geheim vir beter fokus, geheue en bui.
👉 Help deur ’n rustige aandroetine te skep

🚶‍♀️ 𝟮. 𝗕𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗳
Baie sport stop gedurende eksamentyd — maar moenie dat beweging heeltemal verdwyn nie. Vars lug, sonlig en beweging verhoog serotonien (jou “happy hormone”) en verbeter bloedvloei na die brein.
👉 Selfs net ’n kort stap, fietsrit of 10 minute bal skop kan wonderwerke doen.

🥦 𝟯. 𝗘𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗱
Die brein hou van goeie brandstof!
Vermy suiker- en kafeïenpieks wat jou energie laat val soos ’n suikerval.
👉 Fokus op:
• Proteïen (hoender, eiers, tuna, jogurt)
• Goeie vette (avokado, neute, visolie)
• Kompleks koolhidrate (bruin brood, hawermout, vrugte)
• Genoeg water!

📵 𝟰. 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘁𝘆𝗱
Na ure se leer wil kinders gewoonlik afskakel met ’n skerm — maar dit hou hul brein aan die gang.
Blou lig uit skerms verwar die brein se “slaapsein”, en sosiale media kan stres verhoog.
👉 Stel grense vir skermtyd en moedig alternatiewe aan: luister na musiek, teken, lees of gesels.

💊 𝟱. 𝗢𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘂𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀
Soms kort die liggaam net ’n bietjie ekstra ondersteuning, veral tydens stresvolle periodes.
Die volgende aanvullings kan help:
• Magnesium: vir ontspanning en beter slaap
• Sink: vir immuniteit en breinfunksie
• Vitamien D: vir bui, energie en immuniteit
• Omega’s: vir breinontwikkeling en fokus
• Vitamien B12: vir energie en senuwee-ondersteuning

🧠 𝟲. 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆𝗱 𝗻𝗶𝗲
As jou kind sukkel om te fokus, is dit belangrik om dit regdeur die jaar aan te spreek.

💙 Sterkte aan al ons slimkoppe (en hul ouers)!
Onthou, rus en balans is deel van sukses. Julle het hierdie!

💪 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

Children aren’t always great at saying, “Mom, something’s sore.” Sometimes, a limp, less appetite, or refusing to play can say more than words ever could.

This is a reminder to keep an eye on how your child moves, plays, and grows. Their bones and joints are still developing — and things like infections, injuries, or vitamin deficiencies can cause long-term issues if ignored.

👀 Keep watch for:

- Pain or swelling in a joint or limb
- Limping or avoiding certain movements
- Fever, redness, or warmth around a joint
- Knock knees or other visible changes

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝟭𝟴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

🚫 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀

There’s still so much misunderstanding around ADHD, so let’s set the record straight 👇

🚫 Myth: ADHD is over-diagnosed
✅ Fact: In many adults, it’s actually under-diagnosed. Early recognition means people can access the right tools and strategies to thrive.

🚫 Myth: ADHD is caused by bad parenting
✅ Fact: Parenting doesn’t cause ADHD. Supportive parents, however, play a huge role in helping kids manage it well.

🚫 Myth: ADHD is just a diet issue
✅ Fact: Food can influence focus, but sugar isn’t the cause. For some, sensitivities may play a role, but ADHD can’t be “cured” by diet.

🚫 Myth: ADHD is only a childhood condition
✅ Fact: ADHD is lifelong. Many adults continue to manage it — symptoms just look different as we grow.

💡 Understanding ADHD helps break stigma and builds support for those living with it every day.

𝟯𝗱𝗲 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀!

Meer toetse, projekte, aktiwiteite en minder energie. Dis normaal dat jou kind nou bietjie gestres of oorweldig voel.

👀 𝗛𝗼𝘂 ’𝗻 𝗼𝗼𝗴 𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝘃𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝘀:

- meer geïrriteerdheid of emosionele uitbarstings
- probleme om te konsentreer
- hoofpyn of maagpyn wat gereeld opduik
- ’n verlies aan lus vir dinge wat hulle normaalweg geniet

💡 𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝗻?

1. 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝗽 ’𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 – genoeg slaap, goeie kos en bietjie speeltyd is net so belangrik soos huiswerk.
2. 𝗟𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝘆𝗱𝘀𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘂𝘂𝗿 – breek groot take op in kleiner stappies wat hanteerbaar voel.
3. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗮𝗺 – luister sonder oordeel, soms wil jou kind net weet jy hoor hulle.
4. 𝗠𝗼𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗴 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗮𝗻 – buite speel, stokperdjies of selfs asemhalingsoefeninge.
5. 𝗛𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗸 – speelafsprake en vriende help baie om spanning te verlig.
6. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲 – fokus op groei en leer, nie net punte nie.
7. 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗮𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 – onderwysers en beraders kan waardevolle ondersteuning bied.

🤝 Onthou: Jy hoef dit nie alleen te dra nie. As jou kind se stres begin inmeng met hul alledaagse lewe, soek professionele hulp.

🚨 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 – 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

From January to the end of July, South Africa has recorded 590 laboratory-confirmed measles cases.

📍 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀?

The highest numbers are in Gauteng - 409
Children 5–9 years old are the most affected

⚠️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸?
Low vaccination coverage has created an immunity gap, leaving many children vulnerable.

➡️ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘀?
One case can infect 12–18 people who are not immunised.

🩺 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘀?
Look out for fever and rash, plus one or more of these:

Conjunctivitis (red eyes)
Coryza (runny nose)
Cough

🧪 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:

A blood test (IgM) should be taken; IgM shows up about 3 days after the rash starts.
Early on, PCR testing (throat swab or urine) is useful to avoid false negatives.
Labs like Ampath will notify doctors of all positive results.

🍬 We’re not saying “no sugar ever” or trying to deprive kids — we’re simply saying: 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹.

Small swaps like fruit 🍓, yoghurt 🥛, or water 💧 instead of fizzy drinks can make a big difference.

It’s 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

🦠 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗹

Strep keel is ’n aansteeklike bakteriële infeksie wat versprei deur hoes, nies en noue kontak.

🚨 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲:
• Skielike seer keel
• Moeilike/slimp pynlike sluk
• Koors
• Mangels of limfkliere swel

🧼 𝗩𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝗺:
Was hande, moenie eetgerei deel nie, bedek hoes/nies, en hou kinders tuis as hulle siek is.

💊 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Antibiotika is nodig om die infeksie te behandel en komplikasies te voorkom.

👉 Kontak jou gesondheidsorgverskaffer as jou kind simptome toon.

Raising Kids in a Digital World

Tech leaders like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs placed limits on screen time for their own kids. Not because screens are “bad” — but because they’re powerful. ⚡ As parents, we can do the same!

Here’s how:
📵 Keep devices out of bedrooms for healthier sleep
🍽️ Protect mealtimes for real conversations
⏳ Treat screen time like medicine — small, controlled doses
💬 Encourage boredom, silence, and face-to-face connection

Screens will always be part of our children’s lives — BUT boundaries today give them focus, resilience, and creativity tomorrow.

You deserve support.
You deserve to be soft and strong.
