screen time for kids

Some of us struggle with trying to figure out if our kids are addicted to screens.  In this episode Emily Cherkin, The Screentime Consultant, and I discuss what causes screen addictions and what resources might help to determine if our kids are addicted.  We also go over different levels of intervention in overcoming screen issues in our homes. 

Emily is launching a new course for parents that will help train parents week by week to get their arms around the issue.  With parenting practices and live one-on-one coaching and support from other parents you will be able to make changes to support new behaviors that will set a balance between screens and life.

Einstein said: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview to life’s coming attractions.”  Through imagination, your brain figures out new possibilities before actually having to perform. Your dreams give you a unique life path to follow and guide your brain to continue growing and developing. Imagination and Dreams give you and your child the ability to create something that has never been there before, transcending your limitations.

In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: 

• how to practice and apply Imagination & Dreams intentionally, and the power of this Essential to move you and your child beyond current limitations; 
• practical tips and examples of how to use Imagination & Dreams with children with special needs; 
• the brain is a quantum information system, and there is either a change or no change (not small or big change); 
• how to connect with your child where she or he is at using the Essentials, and allow for spontaneous outcomes;
• A Life Unbound, a documentary about this Method, is being shown online (check out our upcoming screenings);
• related questions from the audience.
