ADHD children teens Electronics

Goldie Hawn was talking to Piers Morgan on CNN and was discussing how
technology and electronics impact stress which impacts the brain of
children , teens and adults .

She discussed how imagery on the Internet impacts desensitization of
the brain for children and teens and the connection to ADHD
symptomology.

Obviously communication between families is reduced when the whole
family is connected to: tv, video games, facebook, Twitter , x box ,
playayation , you tube etc.

Parents must limit electronics if they want to cultivate a healthy
family and foster communication and relationships.

I encourage parents to set limits w there children and teens. Limits
and boundaries is one foundation of balance and health for healthy
behaviors in your family .
