This is so important to know
“You are absorbing more in a single day than your grandparents processed in a month. Notifications, opinions, outrage, disasters, advertisements, noise…
Your nervous system was not built for this.”
What helps regulate and calm the nervous system?
• Touch, hugs and massage — parents need this too!
• Travel time filled with conversation, laughter and music
• Time in nature, walking and free play
• Quiet time for drawing, reading and creating
• Deliberate tech-free periods in your day
• Nutritious, nourishing food
• Plenty of clean drinking water
• Good-quality sleep, with minimal light at night.
