Summary
Does your family hit September feeling more exhausted than when summer started? You're not alone — and it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Damour shares her research-backed S.U.N. framework — Sleep, Unplug, and Nature — a simple, three-part plan for making summer genuinely restorative for your tween or teen (and for you). Whether your family is drowning in screens, running on bad sleep, or spending zero time outdoors, this episode gives you a realistic, concrete roadmap you can actually put on the calendar. 💡 YOU'LL LEARN: - Why protecting sleep matters even when summer schedules get loose — and the specific habits that make the biggest difference - How to set tech boundaries that work as a family routine, not just a one-off rule - What the research actually says about nature and why even brief time outdoors reliably restores attention and lowers stress - Why a plan and a conversation are the two things standing between you and a genuinely restorative summer - How to implement S.U.N. in your family in a way that sticks into fall With summer just getting started, there's no better time to revisit this encore episode. ________________ GET DR.
