How to Spot and Help a Sleep-Deprived Teen

Staying up late is almost a rite of passage for teens. Many experts point out that teens’ internal sleep cycles actually change, making them more into night owls than they used to be (or might be in the future).

Kids Choosing Healthy

Yesterday I had to pick up the kids from school then head out of town to do a few things with the church. These two always need a snack after school and from day to day it varies.  I decided that before picking them up I would pack a snack since I didn’t know how long we would be gone I would grab a few things, not knowing exactly what they would want I decided to grab enough so they could have enough to hold them over so we wouldnt have to stop and grab anything while we were out.

I figured that would be enough for the 4 hours I figured it would take and probably enough to share with mom.
