🎯I’ve been saying this for years!!🎯
Any opportunity I get to speak with folks that work with young children that are struggling (Behavior/ADHD etc… ), I ask them to look at the eyes, and ASK ABOUT SLEEP. 👁️
Everyone, particularly growing children, should be sleeping with their mouth CLOSED!

Mouth breathing in kids isn’t just a “habit.”
✅ It can signal airway obstruction.
✅ It affects jaw and facial development.
✅ It impacts sleep, focus, and learning.
We screen eyesight because poor vision affects education. But what about breathing? Kids who can’t breathe properly often struggle just as much in the classroom—yet it’s rarely checked.
👉 Imagine if every child had their airway screened early. How many cases of sleep problems, ADHD-like behaviours, and dental issues could we prevent?
What do you think—should mouth breathing checks be part of every school health screening?
