Xmas Special - end of year wrap

Our last episode for 2022, so we look back at how the year has gone.

Topics we cover:

• what parents can think about over the break - maybe have that convo you've been putting off
• focus and attention (and the importance of both)
• the idea of getting kids reading over the summer
• more on managing screens - why not consider a 'Summer Screen Contract' for your family?
• most recent screen research - it's not good news (links below)
• what the 'hot topics' this year have been (spoiler: most gender identity)
• the importance of family's using proper names for private parts, and where there's been a shift on our part regarding this

Links:

• The Younger Sun bookshop
• Common Sense Media
• eSafety Commissioner
• Family Zone
• Research showing children with more than one hour a day online are vulnerable in all five developmental areas
