Activity: Get involved in activities that you enjoy and are interesting to you. These activities may be related to school, after school programs, volunteering or community organizations. Try to limit watching TV or playing video games. Consider a family media plan including time for physical activity and unplugged family time. Exercise is also very important. You should get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. Be careful when using the internet; being online is the same thing as being in public. Remember that anything you share on line you are sharing with many people and it cannot be erased. Do not meet up with strangers you connect with online. All internet use should be in public areas of the home so parents can ensure online activity is safe.. Sleep: Sleep is very important at your age and you need plenty of sleep to do well in school. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Some tips for improving your sleep include: Not watching TV/ phone or screens while going to sleep, avoid napping during the day, avoid caffeine and chocolate a couple hours before bedtime, avoid large meals right before going to bed, and establish a regular bedtime.. Mental Health: Sometimes people get angry, upset, stressed or sad about a certain situation. It is not ok to hurt yourself or others when this happens. It is also not good to use violence (ex: fighting) to solve problems. There are healthier ways to deal with your feelings. If you ever feel angry, upset or sad please talk to an adult or your doctor. You can also call the Access HelpLine at 1(888)7WE-HELP or 1-888-793-4357 at any time. Safety: Everyone should wear seatbelts while riding in a car. Younger adolescents may still need to be in booster seat, low-profile backless boosters may be more acceptable to the adolescent. Your child should continue to ride in the back seat until 13 years of age. Youth under 16y should not ride ATVs. Model safe behavior by always wearing your seat belt. Make sure your child is always wearing a helmet while riding a bike/scooter/skating etc. Use sunscreen with SPF greater than 15, reapply every 2 hours. Develop safety rules with your child such as not riding in a vehicle with someone who has been using drugs or alcohol. Guns, knives and other weapons are extremely dangerous and should not be used to fix problems. It is best not to have a firearm in your home, however if necessary firearms should be stored unloaded and locked with ammunition locked separately. Do not listen to loud music in ear buds
