𝙏𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙏𝙞𝙙𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨! 💡

School’s out, the temps are up ☀️🔥, and summer routines are in full swing.

While pool days and outdoor play are a hit 🏊‍♂️, screen time still sneaks in—especially during those long afternoons.

Here are a few simple ways to set healthy screen boundaries this summer:
✅ Create “screen-free” blocks during the day
✅ Make screens the second choice after play, reading, or outside time
✅ Use timers or visual schedules
✅ Keep bedtime routines device-free for better sleep

At Zest Pediatrics, we’re here for more than just checkups.
We’re your partner in raising healthy, happy kids—body and mind. 💙

Enjoy the sunshine, stay cool, and have fun this summer! 🌈

The Environmental Working Group is my go-to for finding safe, non-toxic products! They just released their safe sunscreen list for 2025 🤩

EWG scientists rated more than 1,700 products, and only about one in four products meets our standards for adequate sun protection and avoids ingredients linked to known health harms.
