As a professional childcare provider, one thing I am continually doing is expanding my knowledge by reading books of all things related to children.
⭐️ ⭐️ This is my latest read ⭐️ ⭐️
It has resonated massively with me, and I honestly think everyone should read it, but especially parents.
In the book Jonathan goes into detail about the many problems faced by children and young adults today (stuggling at school, mental health issues, bullying etc), and that these are mostly as result of two things. The introduction of smart phones (and online gaming/social media) into every day life, and the lack of outdoor, child-led free play.
Children are missing out on things that are essential to normal brain development, because their lives are filled with screens and their ‘free time’ dominated by structured adult led activities, and nothing like the childhood people born in the 1980’s and before would have experienced.
I cannot recommend this book more highly.
Any questions? Do ask me.
I am happy to discuss this topic, it is something I am passionate about.
If everyone read this book we could literally change the world, for the better!
