Did you know attention is a skill that must be developed? Today, I share why children struggle to focus and introduce my concept of "brain currency" - how your brain evaluates what actions to take based on past patterns.

Everything your child practices becomes their neural pathway! If they've practiced avoidance or device dependence, that becomes their default mode. The good news? We can reshape these patterns!

Join me for a FREE webinar on May 14th at 7PM where I'll expand on these concepts and provide practical strategies. Visit my website to register!

Remember parents - you're the role model. What are YOU practicing daily? Your habits shape your child's brain development!
