... Read moreAs a new mom myself, I can truly relate to how quickly time seems to fly when you bring a newborn home. The little scrunchy faces—those precious moments your baby scrunches their nose or forehead—are so fleeting but so heartwarming that you want to hold on to them forever. It’s definitely a sign to grab your camera or phone and start recording because these expressions often disappear as your baby grows and becomes more alert. Recording your newborn’s scrunch not only preserves these memories but also creates a special way to look back and cherish the early days of parenthood. I found that these clips were incredibly meaningful to watch during those late-night feedings or when I needed a boost to get through the postpartum phase. Sharing these moments with friends and family also brought a tremendous amount of joy and connection. In addition to capturing these expressions, it’s important to be patient and gentle with yourself during this time. The postpartum period can come with challenges—physically and emotionally—but focusing on small, joyful moments with your baby can be grounding. Whether it’s through pictures, videos, or simply journaling about your baby’s little quirks, these acts help build a narrative of love and growth. For first-time moms feeling overwhelmed, I recommend setting simple reminders to capture a few moments each day without pressure. Sometimes the spontaneous, candid scrunches are the most genuine and beautiful. Embracing these tiny milestones helps you appreciate the journey of motherhood and the unique personality your newborn is already showing.

Pets are family. You spoil and love them. Then, your heart aches when they are gone. I’m forever grateful for the memories that we got to share with our boy 🩵🐶 #animals #foryoupage #fyp

Cherish it, time goes too fast.
Have you ever heard the phrase, “time is a thief”? How about reframing it as, “time is a gift”. It’s true that time goes way too fast, and we are often missing the short phases our children hurdle through. Milestones replace milestones, exciting new abilities turn into frequent daily routine

Do you ever feel like time goes by way too fast?
Do you ever feel like sometimes time just goes by way too fast? Your doing your normal routine, it may be working, or just cleaning your house. But you just can’t seem to catch up with the time, it’s just going by way too fast. And you just don’t understand what’s going on. I get this way from time

The first slide introduces the topic: "What 'too much screen time' can look like in behavior." It states that these signs are often unexpected and easy to miss, encouraging readers to swipe to learn more about child development and screen time effects.
The second slide explains why screen time matters, detailing how screens affect developing brains. It highlights dopamine spikes, the still-forming prefrontal cortex, and clarifies that behaviors are signals of a dysregulated nervous system, not character flaws.
The third slide describes Sign #1: Intense meltdowns when screens turn off. It explains this as a nervous system crash due to dopamine withdrawal and suggests giving a 5-minute warning and transitioning to active play.
5 Signs Your Child May Have Too Much Screen Time
It does not always look like glazed eyes in front of a tablet. Too much screen time in young children often shows up as behavior and it is easy to mistake for something else entirely. Here is what to watch for: 1. Intense meltdowns the moment screens turn off 2. Unable to tolerate boredom
