LOVE this message! I’ve learned so much more from my failures than from my successes! Yes "let them fail"

Very important talk! The train may have already left the station but bringing these shocking statistics forward really makes us think. It’s never too late to put the wellbeing of our kids first- no matter how “mean” that makes them think we are. Thank you for sharing

[victhatsme]

The part about smartphones really hit home for me. It’s crazy how screen time has become such a norm, and it’s definitely harming kids

[vanessamorgenstern]

So true... We need to remove those phones from the hands of our children or limit their time on it while getting back to delayed gratification, play, creativity and imagination.

[CroonGirl]

Boredom breeds creativity? I get the point, but I feel like it's a bit idealistic. Not every kid has the same level of imagination and some of them might just get super anxious
