A recent study suggests that 12-year-olds who have smartphones are more likely to struggle with issues like depression, obesity, and lack of sleep compared to kids without them. 📱 That said, if your child or teen already has a smartphone, there are ways to reduce the risks. With clear boundaries and healthy limits, you can help them prioritize sleep, physical activity, and meaningful time with friends and family—without sacrificing their well-being. Here are some tips to help you get started.

Food allergies happen when the immune system overreacts to proteins that are normally harmless, and they’re especially common in children and teenagers. Below is a simple breakdown of the signs to watch for, ways to manage food allergies, and what parents can do to reduce the chances of one developing. 🥜

“From around 6 months onward, parents can help reduce allergy risks by introducing common allergens such as peanuts, eggs, dairy and sesame. Waiting too long may actually increase the chances of developing an allergy. Start with tiny portions, introduce one food at a time, and keep an eye out for any reactions. If your baby has eczema or there’s a family history of allergies, it’s best to check with your pediatrician first. Safe, early exposure often makes a real difference.”

Children with Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often struggle not just with attention and focus — but with frustration, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts. These challenges can lead to tantrums, defiance, or difficulty coping with tasks they find boring or overwhelming. But with structure, clear expectations, and consistent praise for good behavior — along with support such as parent-training, therapy or, when needed, medication — many children with ADHD can learn better self-control and improve behavior over time.

Type 2 diabetes is no longer just an adult disease — more children and teens are being diagnosed today. Because the body can’t use insulin properly, extra sugar stays in the blood and can harm organs like the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves. With the right combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and — if needed — medication, many young people with diabetes can manage their blood sugar and lead healthy lives. Early diagnosis and consistent care make a real difference.

Experts say that babies don’t need actual shoes until they begin walking independently. For the first months — even when they’re standing or cruising — soft socks or booties are enough. Once your baby starts walking steadily, shoes become important to protect their feet from outdoor hazards like rough surfaces, cold pavement or hot ground. When choosing that first pair, go for lightweight, flexible shoes with non-slip soles and enough space for toes to wiggle comfortably.

Many schools are now limiting students’ access to cell phones during school hours — from ‘bell-to-bell’ bans to locking pouches — to reduce distractions and promote focus. As parents, you can help by normalizing phone-free time at home, using built-in screen-time tools, and modelling healthy phone habits yourself.
Establish clear expectations around when and how phones can be used (for example, before/after school or emergencies), and work with your child to adapt. This transition is a chance to reset family media norms and support your child’s attention at school.
