😴 Parents, looking for ways to help your child wind down for nap time or bedtime? 🌙

While every evening may not go perfectly, having a consistent routine can help children feel secure, relaxed, and ready for rest. Calming activities can make the transition to sleep smoother for the whole family❤️

Reading a story, having a small snack, or following the same bedtime steps each night helps children know what to expect📖

Practice belly breathing and gentle stretches together to help little bodies relax before sleep🧘

Sing a favorite lullaby or play a familiar calming song to signal that it’s time to rest🎶

Remember, bedtime routines aren't just about sleep they're also an opportunity to create comforting moments, strengthen connections, and help children build healthy habits🌟

Sesame Workshop has resources to help you create a bedtime routine for your child, learn more HERE: https://sesameworkshop.org/resources/routines-to-help-children-rest-and-sleep/

Children are facing unprecedented levels of sexual abuse in the digital world. Adults must know the dangers and the strategies to protect children. This fall, we are offering free child sexual abuse prevention training sessions about how to keep children safe online: “Enough! Preventing Online Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation.”

This 1-hour training for caring adults provides specific and effective ways to communicate to youth about the growing threats of online exploitation, including grooming, child enticement, sextortion, and creation of sexual deepfakes. We provide key resources for reporting online child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and to remove exploitative images already uploaded to the internet.

Participants will learn:

☑ What is Online Child Sexual Abuse
☑ How the Abuse Works
☑ Emerging Dangers
☑ Warning Signs
☑ Tips to Protect Your Child
☑ Reporting Resources

Three training options are scheduled for 7-8 PM EST on Zoom. Choose one and register now! Visit: https://enoughabuse.org/get-trained/upcoming-child-sexual-abuse-prevention-trainings/

Follow us at Enough Abuse for more CSA prevention tips, facts, blogs, updates, calls to action and more!

👶 Toddler tantrums can be challenging, but they're a normal part of development!

Tantrums often happen because young children are still learning how to manage big emotions like frustration, disappointment, and anger. When toddlers don't yet have the words or self-control to express their feelings, those emotions can come out in dramatic ways

What can parents do?
✅ Stay calm and patient.
✅ Acknowledge your child's feelings.
✅ Set clear and loving limits.
✅ Help your child learn words for their emotions.

Tantrums are not a sign of bad parenting or a "bad" child. They're opportunities to teach emotional regulation and build important life skills❤️

Want to learn more about why tantrums happen and how to respond effectively? Check out this helpful ZERO TO THREE article:

💙 To All Parents and Caregivers: Thank You! 💙

🌟 Parenting is filled with countless moments that often go unnoticed, but every hug, bedtime story, encouraging word, and act of love makes a lasting difference.

❤️ Some days are easier than others, but every effort you make helps your child feel safe, supported, and loved.

🌱 Remember, you don't have to be perfect to make a difference. The time you spend listening 👂, teaching 📚, playing 🎲, and caring 🤗 creates a strong foundation that helps children grow, learn, and thrive.

✨ You are making a difference every single day. Thank you for all that you do! 💕👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

📱⚠️ Have you heard of "AI Slop"?

Not everything online is created with children in mind. AI slop refers to low-quality content generated by artificial intelligence that is designed to grab attention with fast-moving visuals, repetitive sounds, and endless scrolling—but often provides little educational value

🚩 Watch for warning signs:

• Repetitive or nonsensical videos
• Inaccurate or misleading information
• Overstimulating visuals and sounds
• No clear creator or educational purpose

💡 Help your child build healthy media habits by:

✅ Previewing content before they watch.
✅ Choosing trusted, high-quality sources.
✅ Turning off autoplay.
✅ Watching together and talking about what you see.

The best screen time is interactive, meaningful, and balanced with real-world play and family connection. ❤️
