Hi Gregory, I took your "Neuroscience for Parents" course and am sharing what I've learned from you with my 8yo and 10yo boys. They are so interested in learning what is happening in their brain. They even decided to make a "No Media Day' a week spontaneously and are actually enjoying it. Regretfully I let them watch TV under 2yo, but never be late to change bad habits! Although many of elementary schools are introducing limiting media usage, Growth Mindset or Mindfulness to the students, I think that kids would get better understanding of those concept and value if they learned basic neuroscience together. Would you please consider to make a vlog for kids?
And and by the way I maximum inculcate all of ur ways to my 3 year old before watching your course in udemy. But by going through your course I got confidence that my parenting is nt wrong. Thank you so much for the videos..
Omg you are such a great personality... I was browsing thru udemy parenting course and came across your brain academy. U r inspiring. Definitely I will go thru all your videos in RUclips. Waiting fr more to go. By the way I am kind of person in growth mindset. But this world wants only fixed mindset and never makes a growth mindset grow.
Screen time and speech delays... My 2 year old doesn't speak yet I believe that it is due to excesive screen time (8 hours per day while I was working from home during the pandemic).
Yes! I work with children with developmental delays including speech delay. I had a 5 year old that did not speak a single word. He was an ipad kid many hours a day. After months of finally convincing mom to eliminate screen time, the child started talking 2 months later.
@@reethubell9238 she's now 4 and she now speaks. We stopped all screen time and like a month or 2 before Turning 3 she started speaking. Screens are really the devil. I'm glad that I caught it early
School is doing online learning for at least the next two weeks, and a lot of readings are online these days. Also, my kid loves to watch RUclips to learn making origami. Do all the activities affect the kids brain and eyes?
Hi i have been learning techniques already from the topic of neuroscience for parents.so this topic how to handle screen time will be covered in the neuroscience for parents ?
The problem is how to entertain kids without screen time. In this period of quarantine it's even more difficult. Any example of how to deal with it? I enrolled your udemy course on parenting (I enrolled the one on personal development too) and I look forward the new 90 min content
There's so much to do. From walking and cycling (depending with the corona measures if you're allowed to), to playing in the garden (if you have one) to board or card games. You can have them drawing or creating stuff to work on their fine motor skills.They can just play with their toys. What happened with good old toys? I used to play for hours and hours with my playmobil... If you give them screen time, try to make it as interactive and useful as possible. Have them watch youtube videos on how to create stuff, like for example origami, or teaching them how to draw, or play an instrument, etc. That will keep them busy in a more engaging and constructive way rather than just sitting in front of the TV. That's just a couple of ideas... And by the way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting bored. That's usually a great trigger for them to become more creative.
@@BrainAcademy1 my kids are 1 and 3. We play together since they wake up in the morning til dinner time with no TV and very little use of smartphone. We can't go out at all and we don't have a garden. At dinner time (7:30 p.m.) we watch TV and they do for about 3 hours til they go to bed. After watching this video I will turn on the TV at 8 p.m., then in a week it will become 8:30 p.m. I totally agree that the best thing is to not getting them used to screen time, but I already made the mistake, so now I need to repair somehow. Thanks for the video, btw
Hi Eugenio, now I understand better. At that age they need a lot of attention. One question though: Why do you put them to bed so late? Wouldn't it be easier to have them sleep at 7 and so you can enjoy TV alone?
@@BrainAcademy1 the problem is that they sleep 2-3 hours in the afternoon. I should find a way to have them sleep no more than 1 hour, but I don't know how. Since I wrote the last message I've cut about 30 minutes per day their screen time, but it's still too high (2,5 hours) Work in progress. I finished viewing the new content of your course and I think I'm going to raise the evaluation from 4,5 stars to 5
if the child is watching electronics while you are calling him/her, then no. if you are calling their name and they are doing nothing then i think you should check a docter
Oh I do not love that question. Clearly a frustrated parent using language like "Control them" and "Addiction". Missing the point perhaps but part of the issue in using that kind of language is that it puts a chasm between you and your child. You have flaws as a parent. Some small and some large and unless you are prepared to look inward and accept that you cannot "control" and expect good results, this struggle for you and most like you will struggle. Enormously. Parenting is a deeply complex and context-specific issue but universally damaging terms like "Control" and "Addiction" defy the very premise of encouraging good behaviour vs bad behaviour.

Good advice and agreed. Are you educated as a doctor?
Yay! 🎯 I’m taking your course already! Thank you. 🙏🏽
Enjoy!
Social skills is incredibly important to develop healthy ❤️
You can develop those skills online.

Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you like my work :)

How is your child interaction now
Yes! I work with children with developmental delays including speech delay. I had a 5 year old that did not speak a single word. He was an ipad kid many hours a day. After months of finally convincing mom to eliminate screen time, the child started talking 2 months later.

@@reethubell9238 she speaks now ! Started speaking like a month before turning 3
very informative and nice talked. Does audio book count also to 'screen time', it not screen but it's digital...
Not all screen time is the same, and no, I wouldn't count an audio book as screen time.
School is doing online learning for at least the next two weeks, and a lot of readings are online these days. Also, my kid loves to watch RUclips to learn making origami. Do all the activities affect the kids brain and eyes?
no, don't worry about that. It's the high dopamine screen time which is problematic. Online learning isn't part of that :)
Hi i have been learning techniques already from the topic of neuroscience for parents.so this topic how to handle screen time will be covered in the neuroscience for parents ?
Absolutely. I added 1h30 of brand new content yesterday, including this lecture.
What if we spens 40% of that screen time on learning and practicing while using the proper protection for our eyes?
As said, not all screen time is the same. Learning and practicing are long term gratification building practices, which I'm totally fine with.

To be honest, screes have negative effects if used negatively.
Sir, Will the extensive screen time generate autism-like symptoms like not responding to name? in a 2 year old?
if the child is watching electronics while you are calling him/her, then no. if you are calling their name and they are doing nothing then i think you should check a docter
what about teens ? how do we control their screen addiction
Oh I do not love that question. Clearly a frustrated parent using language like "Control them" and "Addiction". Missing the point perhaps but part of the issue in using that kind of language is that it puts a chasm between you and your child. You have flaws as a parent. Some small and some large and unless you are prepared to look inward and accept that you cannot "control" and expect good results, this struggle for you and most like you will struggle. Enormously.
