I guess we can call this one, #MediaMonday.
Happy Monday, ladies.
My girlfriend sent me this article this morning, and instead of re-writing the news in my own words, I thought Business Insider’s Allana Aktar did a fine job delivering it to us.
So, instead of writing about it myself, I opted simply to direct you to the article.
The news headline is the headline above.
It starts like this…
“Bill Gates, one of the most influential tech leaders in the world, limited how much technology his children could use at home. In 2007, Gates, the former CEO of Microsoft, implemented a cap on screen time when his daughter started developing an unhealthy attachment to a video game. He also didn’t let his kids get cell phones until they turned 14.”
This morning on my weekly segment on Global News, I discussed something that as a parent, perhaps, you might connect with. I shared some of the research on ‘distracted parenting’ caused by smartphones and the harmful effects on children (based on studies both on humans and rats in labs).
I then went on to share some tips on how parents can unplug and disconnect.
I hope you’ll watch this important segment in the link above.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
