How I wish this gorgeous resource from School of Life <\/a>was widely disseminated … it’s a book of screen free fun and I am covetous. And here’s another handy resource – a brochure from the Children’s Screen Time Action Network written for new parents<\/a> and giving solid advice about tech use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of the Network, I attended an excellent (online) talk by Dr.Jenny Radesky and Dr. Roberta Golinkoff and there is a recorded version of it here<\/a>. It was about making wise choices if selecting tech for young ‘uns to use. The next one looks good, too, about Green Time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another video, this one from the Evolved Nest … please check it out. It’s just six minutes and SO GOOD.<\/a> A summary of Darcia Narvaez’ amazing book Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality. Very much my cup of tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Something that is NOT my cuppa is described here in a piece by Fast Company … it’s about AI in the classroom <\/a>and I say BACK OFF, GOOGLE. Surely that’s technochauvinism<\/a> at its worst? Hey, speaking of Back Off Google … the most recent (and rather bloody gorgeous) issue of OHbaby! has an article I wrote … called “Google Strike”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What else? Here is a gift from Common Sense Media <\/a>about 10 steps to a better YouTube, this is a link to a piece from the Conversation about teen girls’ rates of depression<\/a> being higher than boys’, and here’s Dr. Gabor Mate on why attachment is everything.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a moment to bask in the glow of Italian Library Music <\/a>(I KNOW! Thanks, NY Times!), here is a Washington Post piece by Jean Twenge (y’know … wrote iGen) … about gaming disorder being the tip o’ the iceberg <\/a>and this is a Canadian news source reporting on sexism in academia<\/a>. Gross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things I want to re-introduce to the world include THIS important report<\/a> from the 5rights foundation in the UK, about the influence of persuasive tech in the lives of children. It’s called Disrupted Childhood and I wish everyone would read it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a couple of McSweeneys pieces to share: both hilarious and tragic at the same time. Beyond bittersweet! This one is about women returning to offices<\/a>, post-pandemic, and this one is a “to do list” for your baby’s 15 minute nap<\/a> – frankly this is a moment for listlessness. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kia ora friends, I asked someone I love “How are you going?” and they replied “Listless”. It hit me like a ton of bricks … feeling listless? Write a list! Had you ever noticed that? That listlessness is a literal … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/baby.geek.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/E748A382-3848-444A-97DE-7945282E78A1_1_201_a-1024x683.jpeg\")
