Sounds like a strong argument…What are your thoughts? Are there any ways to compromise eg giving an old basic phone rather than a smartphone? Do apps where you can monitor your child’s phone use work well?
“The day you give your kids a phone,
Is the day their childhood ends”
They will become less engaged in the world around them,
And more consumed by the online world . This is also
detrimental to the brain development & offers NO benefits to young children.🧠🌱

It doesn’t take much to make kids feel special…
Look them in the eye.
Smile at them.
Talk to them individually.
Be curious about THEM.
Be sincere.

What three things are you grateful for in this moment? Reply below or try using our free 'Three Good Things' template: bit.ly/3YEw9zd
Why? Because practising gratitude can help us develop mindful awareness by noticing the good in our lives and how it makes us feel.

If a young person you are working with begins to feel their breath getting quicker and out of control, use this activity to help them slow down their breathing and calm down.
ALT Breathe it through. Stretch your fingers as wide as you can. Take slow deep breaths in and deep breaths out as you trace around each finger. Take your time with it. You might find it helpful to close your eyes while breathing through.
