19.01.2022 WORLD KINDNESS DAY "Let's live life with audacious dreams and big hearts". (Steve Jobs) When we accept the reality that we can create positive change, we move beyond ourselves, our limitations, our doubts, and realise our infinite power.... World Kindness Day is the beginning of a global reaction to the exploitation of our human and natural resources. It could be said that the slogan for World Kindness Day might well be "Healing the World!" and in doing so, there is the possibility of creating something so intrinsically good and wholesome, that the beneficial effects could be virtually endless.

14.01.2022 School holidays are here so let's look at Screen Time. Screen time is the amount of time spent using a device such as a smartphone, computer, television, or video game console. The concept is under significant research, together with related concepts in digital media use in mental health. With the increased amount of technology in the home comes an increase of certain specific health effects due to the fact that the accumulated amount of daily screen time in children ages 8 t...o 18 grew from five hours to eight hours from 1996 to 2016. Some of the health effects that can be brought about with increased screen time are lack of sleep due to late bedtimes which leads the inability to sleep, daytime tiredness, trouble internalising and/or externalising problems. Some research suggests that the light from electronic screens can affect the circadian rhythm of children and disrupt alertness. These same studies found that for young children ages 37, the amount of sleep disturbances greatly increases after six hours of screen time, and for children 8-12 the amount of sleep disturbances greatly increased after the 10-hour mark. After four or six hours of daily screen time, sleep duration drops for adolescents.
