June 23: Switch off, wind down
June is OUR screen free Living for children and teens MONTH!
Today's challenge starts at 8 PM with a simple choice: put the screens away for the rest of the evening.
For many teenagers, the hours before bed are spent catching up on messages, watching videos, scrolling through social media or gaming with friends. It can feel like the perfect way to relax after a busy day.
But what if switching off sometimes could help them unwind more?
This challenge is about creating a little breathing space before bedtime. A chance for the mind to slow down, for conversations to happen and for the day to come to a gentler close.
Whether it's reading, listening to music, being creative, spending time with family or just a quieter evening, there are lots of enjoy the evening without screens.
So tonight, when the clock hits 8, try pressing pause on the screens and see what happens. The notifications will still be there tomorrow, the opportunity to properly switch off might be worth holding onto.

Right now, around 1 in 5 people in your team may be neurodivergent. That means they might process information differently, communicate differently, and experience your management style very differently from what you intend. Most managers are doing their best with almost no guidance on any of this. This session changes that.
In 45 focused minutes, you will get a clear, honest grounding in what neuroinclusive management actually looks like in practice. We will remove the deficit-framed thinking about "difficult" team members and discuss practical, human-centred approaches you can implement immediately.
This is not a session about diagnosing your team or becoming an overnight expert. It is about adjusting the conditions you create as a manager so that more of your people can do their best work, without having to constantly advocate for themselves to be heard.
A note on what this is not
This is not a session about spotting who is neurodivergent on your team. You do not need to know. Neuroinclusive management works by improving the conditions for everyone, so the people who need it most are not left having to ask.
