Set Rules and Boundaries
Set rules and boundaries regarding social media usage for your children. The rules can vary depending on the age of your children but should always include guidelines like a time limit, appropriate content and behavior, a prohibition on sharing personal information.
By setting rules, you will not only teach them responsible social media use but also keep them safe from online predators and cyberbullying.

One major factor is the absence of social pressure or the fear of judgment from others. Without an audience, people may feel more relaxed and free to express themselves without fear of criticism or consequences.

Additionally, our behavior when alone can be influenced by our inner thoughts and desires, which might differ from how we act in public. This private behavior could reflect our true preferences, interests, or even personal idiosyncrasies that we don't feel comfortable displaying in front of others.

Furthermore, societal norms and expectations can shape our behavior in public, while we might feel more inclined to break away from those norms when in private settings. This creates a dichotomy between our public and private selves, leading to differences in behavior depending on whether we are being observed or not..

How can heat affect our mental health?🤔
It is through many different pathways, both direct and indirect.
Heat can suppress the production of thyroid hormones, causing lethargy, depression, and cognitive impairment. Increased sweating causes dehydration, leading to cognitive dysfunction and general lethargy
Heat also has many indirect effects. It disrupts sleep (most of us need to be cool to sleep well), making us exhausted and more vulnerable to stress. It worsens heart function, hurting all our other organs, including the brain.
Another indirect effect is the worry we feel about our environment. There may even be a new syndrome developing, variously called eco-anxiety, climate anxiety, or climate grief. These terms refer to the anxiety and grief caused by climate change..
