Some habits are green flags. Others are red flags hiding in plain sight.
It's important to pay attention to what actually shapes a child's breathing, sleep, jaw development, and long-term health.
The green flags? Nose breathing, lips together at rest, a tongue that rests on the roof of the mouth, deep and quiet sleep, and a wide, well-developed jaw.
The red flags? Mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, crowded teeth, dark circles, and chronic congestion. These are the ones most parents don't cath, but they're often the earliest signs that something deeper is going on.
The biggest mistake? Treating symptoms while missing the root cause.
Which one surprised you the most?
