Today Is International Youth Day! It is an awareness day designated by the United Nations and the purpose is to draw attention to a given set of cultural and legal issues surrounding youth. The theme for 2024 is: From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development

Young people are leading the charge in digital adoption and innovation, with three-quarters of those aged 15 to 24 using the internet in 2022, a rate higher than other age groups. However, disparities persist, particularly in low-income countries and among young women, who often have less access to the internet and digital skills compared to their male counterparts. While there is an urgent need to enhance digital inclusion, youth are largely recognized as “digital natives,” using technology to drive change and create solutions. As the 2030 deadline for the SDGs approaches, the role of young people in digital innovation is essential for addressing global issues.

By celebrating the digital contributions of youth, we can inspire further innovation and collaboration towards achieving sustainable development.

Changing the direction of which way your baby sleeps every day strengthens their muscles and can prevent them from developing a flat head (plagiocephaly). 😴

Use the easy Sleep Switch, Left, Right, Repeat method ↔️ and always make sure your baby is sleeping on their back no matter which direction they're in! 👶

For crib safety, it's also important that there's no soft bedding, including blankets and stuffed animals. ❌ 🧸
