24.01.2022 Media influence on teenagers: social media, movies, Youtube and apps "Teenagers can be very smart consumers of media messages. They don’t just take on board everything they see and hear on social media or in other media. You can help them develop the skills they need to handle media influence."

21.01.2022 The importance of Kindness A fundamental to human survival is our sense of community. It keeps us safe and it helps us prosper. When there is a threat the community looks after one another, because instinctively, we know we are stronger together. In case we forget that fact, Mother Nature has developed some surprising bonding agentsthe chemicals of kindness. Oxytocin is sometimes called the love drug. We get our first hit when we are breast fed by our mothers. That closene...ss fires a chemical that bonds us and ensures our mothers care for us despite the lack of sleep, nappies and screaming! Throughout life we are topped up with oxytocin when we touch or hug others, when we have sex and surprisingly, even when we are just kind to one another. Oxytocin not only makes us feel good, but it lowers our blood pressure and reduces anxiety. Serotonin has a huge range of functions in the body, however, it is known as the happy chemical because of its role in stabilising mood. If a person has too little serotonin they may suffer from depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder. One of the ways you can increase your serotonin levels naturally is through acts of kindness. Endorphins are also released when we participate in acts of kindness. These are natural painkillers. You know that feeling when you stub your toe and it is incredibly painful for a couple of seconds but then suddenly there is a rush of blood and the pain seems to be blocked? That relief is the endorphins kicking in. So, if we know that these three very helpful chemicals are released through acts of kindness, it makes sense that we employ acts of kindness as part of our daily practice to feel better and to make us happier and healthier.

17.01.2022 "Taking time to recharge is productive too"

16.01.2022 Parents now spend twice as much time with their children as 50 years ago "PARENTS these days spend a lot more time with their offspring, or at least middle-class parents do. One analysis of 11 rich countries estimates that the average mother spent 54 minutes a day caring for children in 1965 but 104 minutes in 2012. Men do less than women, but far more than men in the past: their child-caring time has jumped from 16 minutes a day to 59."

12.01.2022 COVID has caused the longest and deepest reduction in human noise on record. "In the months since the global coronavirus pandemic ground the world to a standstill, the human race has become quieter than any other time on record. An international team of researchers and seismologists analysed datasets from more than 300 seismic stations around the world, measuring the vibrations caused by human activity, and found that global lockdowns reduced seismic noisethat is, the noise caused by things like movement, transport and constructionby up to 50 percent."

02.01.2022 Kids and Mean Gossip "Research tells us that the vast majority of gossip is neutral, it is exchanging information in order to connect with others. About 75% of gossip is neutral. About 9% is positive, it celebrates other people’s successes and builds them up. Finally, there is negative gossip, the kind that damages a person’s reputation and social standing. Unfortunately, young people tend to participate in negative gossip more than adults. This is the kind of gossip that can break the culture of a school, a workplace, a sporting club, or any other community."
