you know, one of the more challenging bits of being outspoken about the dangers of tech overuse … my kids have zero tolerance for a hypocritical mother.\u00a0 (Yummy blog post HERE from the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood<\/a> about the Camp Grounded experience).\u00a0 So school hols are a difficult time to get to my computer and do even the bare minimum.<\/p>\n

But OH!\u00a0 The links I have to share!<\/p>\n

Here come a flurry thereof: First, from the Washington Post, this is AMAZING on so many levels!\u00a0 This is your brain on Art … enjoy<\/a>.\u00a0 Next, further evidence, it seems, of our profound interrelatedness.\u00a0 This is a snippet about some research<\/a>\u00a0done at Penn State, demonstrating how a mother’s relational wellbeing with her partner may have implications for her baby’s state.<\/p>\n

Speaking of research: this is PROFOUND … it’s from MIT.\u00a0 Behold the poetry of the academic abstract!<\/a>\u00a0 Wade through for useful insights.\u00a0 Shared meals, touch.\u00a0 Yup.<\/p>\n

OH MY GODDESS I just loved this, from Mothering.com, about Mother Culture<\/a>.\u00a0 Sign me up.\u00a0 I reckon Podcasts go a long way toward filling my head with juicy content.<\/p>\n

Here is a small local piece of news<\/a> (I think it’s from Rhode Island?) where students are requesting screen-free time in classrooms.\u00a0 \u00a0Poor buggers.\u00a0 And it’s so modest, what they’re asking for.\u00a0 Meanwhile check this out\u00a0<\/a>… an organisation called Protect Young Eyes, who are all about digital safety for kids.\u00a0 As am I.<\/p>\n

For the Halloween inclined, this is a list of costumes for girls<\/a> … non-slutty costumes, non-princess-dependent costumes, thanks to the awesome “Mighty Girl” website.\u00a0 In a totally different direction, here is a sheet for teachers … what you oughta know about adoption.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a link to an odd and cool take on the relationship between sleep and brains <\/a>(oooh!\u00a0 Jellyfish!) and another conversation about brains and other creatures … what the heck, pusscats, poop, and brain parasites<\/a>.\u00a0 YOWZER.\u00a0 \u00a0 Finally, and this is from Mothering as well, an article about what Self Care looks like when Mama is depressed.<\/a>\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have to share a pic of the most recent OhBaby, which has an article I wrote about Technoference … but the rain is relentless and my office (in a separate building, albeit on the same property!) seems a long way away.\u00a0 So bear with, K?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
