Listen Later

Dr. Natasha Sharma is an Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, TV/MEDIA and is the Creator the "Kindness Journal." 

We talk about children , social media and how it affects children's bodies,  how to equip them with tools to prepare them for what they are seeing on their phones. 
This podcast just had so much valuable content, we could have talked forever. 
Talking with your partner about the values you want to instill in your children and how you are going to role model that in front of them is a good start.    Neuroscience says, children are more impulsive and can't regulate or control themselves  and can't make a decisions moral when on their phones. 

TOPICS WE DISCUSS:

  • Younger children have shorter processing windows and therefore can 't make sound decisions quickly online.
  • The NEW WORD OF 2021 is STIMULATION for our generation, it dangerous to our mental health.
  • Normal naked jokes, body jokes and fart jokes are normal to children after various stages of development. Also, exploration for children is a must and finding fun things to laugh at. However, those moments where someone fell and tripped would have be talked about for a day and now it is filmed and permanent in print. 
  • What is worrisome to Dr.Sharma is repeated behaviour like fun, natural episodes that are sensationalized are now forever in a photo or video, for all to see 24-7.
  • How can we educate children about their bodies to avoid them developing body image issues?
  • Concerns about children seeking other peer approval instead of a parents is very concerning.  
  • Parents help your child become aware of peer pressure, but control that peer pressure and by helping your children feel a sense of belonging. 
  • Parents can teach their right from right and wrong to be a  good person. We need teach them how to control the phone. Our kids are not equipped to control or regulate themselves on a phone as yet.
