screen-time

In today’s news we hear more and more about the damaging impact advanced screen time has on the emotional and behavioral health of children. Please share evidence and research about this and explain what our children are facing today that we did not encounter 5, 10 or 20 years ago. In general, what is being seen regarding emotional, social and behavioral issues with our children.

Are you addicted to your phone?

or are you reluctant to admit that you are addicted?

Because it's okay! That's their goal and as we can tell they are good at it! This addiction is so strong that it is putting our children's development at risk.   

Child development is relational and when we are distracted most of the time we are robbing our kids of their growth. 

This has also led to continuous partial attention which is really robbing us and our littles of enjoying their childhood and forming a strong bond and connection. 

If you haven't tried a social media cleanse i'd like to encourage you to try, if not please consider one of amma lisas other tricks such as 

• using an alarm clock
• using a wristwatch
• signing onto social media only at the computer
• no phones in bed
• screen-free mealtimes

We know it's hard but please consider. We'd also love to hear what you think about this topic! thanks for tuning in!

ALL of us are pretty bad at monitoring our screen use; be it TV or phone. Remember when a show would finish and we’d have to sit through the WHOLE credits to get to the next episode? Professor Adam Alter talks about these moments as "Stopping Cues". They're a sign to move on and do something different; to stop clicking and scrolling and binging. We've got some mindfulness tips to help you put stopping cues back into your life and get 8 hours sleep for once.

There’s chat about music and unexpected book recommendations, then it all turns soporific as the Fionas consider what it means to get a good night’s sleep. Do your sleep needs change with age? What are some tips to help you nod off? And does a nap do any good? Plus there’s a kernel about looking up, and some wisdom about screen use and owning your relationship status.
