A study in South Africa explored how loadshedding affected small business owners and found that;

Small business cannot function without electricity leading to lower income and unstable work routines.

The electricity situation leads to financial setbacks that spill over into family life; inability to meet household needs, send money home, or maintain their previous living standards.

As a signal, it helps one to recognize when personal boundaries have been crossed or when important values are being violated.

Did you Know that New research from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study shows;
that early adolescents who spend more time on social media tend to have slightly lower scores in language and memory-related cognitive tests two years later.

Here’s what parents and guardians can do:
✅ Set clear limits on daily social media time.
✅ Encourage reading, hobbies, and outdoor play.
✅ Be a role model—show balanced screen habits.

Small changes can make a big difference in helping young minds grow strong both online and offline!
