Summer freedom often means later bedtimes, but sleep routines still matter. Kids thrive on consistency, even during vacation.
Try keeping wake-up and bedtime within an hour of their usual school-year schedule. A calming bedtime routine and screens off 1 hour before sleep can make a big difference.

~ Keep cold foods cold with plenty of ice or a cooler.
~ Cook meats thoroughly - no pink in burgers or chicken!
~ Wash hands before and after eating, especially after playing outdoors.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens in the United States.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 5 high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. These numbers are heartbreaking, but prevention starts at home.
Creating a safe environment is vital if your teen is struggling with any depression or anxiety.
A few ways you can help reduce risk include securing all medications in a locked cabinet, including over-the-counter pain relievers, storing firearms safely - unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition, and limiting access to alcohol or other substances, monitoring online activity and fostering open, ongoing conversations about emotions and mental health.
If you’re worried about your teen or have questions about mental health, the providers at Arbor Pediatrics are trained to help. Mental health treatment is most effective as a team approach with the teen, provider, caregivers, and licensed counselor working together. Call us or schedule a visit to talk more.
