Let’s Rethink How We Talk About Melatonin With Our Kids

Lately, I’ve noticed how casually we toss around the idea of giving kids melatonin for sleep—almost like it’s a harmless bedtime snack. I remember the first time I considered it for my own child, feeling both desperate for rest and uneasy about relying on a supplement. It’s easy to forget that even natural remedies can have real effects on little bodies. As parents, we owe it to our kids to pause and really think about the long-term impact before reaching for a quick fix. Sleep struggles are tough, but maybe the answer isn’t always found in a bottle. Have you ever questioned your own approach to sleep solutions?
