What is happening to our kids, they are obsessed with social media and can't get off it? They come home, eat and start scrolling, they don't even talk to their parents, siblings or pet their dogs... Even our pets are happy to see us and people are too addicted  with their head in their own phones as parents to notice. Kate Duffy is the founder of Don't Press Send. By the way, You school can have her in to do presentations and workshops.  We need to educate kids and parents about how tech is changing behaviour and academic performance. Education is collapsing for many reasons for phones is the most detrimental factor in how are children are learning and developing their psychological processing.

She learned brain scans show that bullying and abuse do visible damage to the brain. https://www.bulliedbrain.com/ Even more important, she discovered that our brains are adept at repair and restoration.  We can prevent bullying and we can stop bullying it takes spending time with your kids unplugged. They need to play outside and experience decision making through interaction.

Meet Taban Yolo, is helping kids to learn how to manage their money and earn it.  He created the Schilling APP. Taban Yolo, is the co-founder and CEO of Shilling. He spearheaded the idea to make an app that turns your screen time into profitable investments. Let’s listen to the story of this savvy industry expert in today’s show and learn a thing or two about his useful app. It is a unique investment.  WORDS FROM TABAN  The concept of Shilling is pretty simple. We get the time someone’s spending on their phone and let them just convert that by setting parameters by how much they’ll spend on their phone, how much time they think they’ll spend on their phone, and then just connect that to a Shilling account that’s built through a financial portfolio that they could start investing in. What that means is, if you sign up for the Shilling app, you set up your profile, you’ll set your time interval. If you set it at eight hours, every eight hours of screen time that you hit, you’ll be able to make automatic investment into a Shilling portfolio based off your risk tolerance.
