Bravery and confidence @ #ActiveMindsCon23 about empowering change for youth & youth #mentalhealth. @IAmInseparable policy is: maybe we can't change #gun laws, so we advocate for ways youth can have less #mentalillness, better #MentalHealthAwareness and #mentalhealthsupport

Nature slows you down, and when you slow down you become more patient. You become rich in time. Is there anyone who says they have plenty of time? It’s the one thing money can’t buy, and anything that makes you feel richer in time by slowing down makes your life more satisfying.

New study @JAMAPediatrics concludes "excessive screen time" among #babies & #toddlers is harmful & must be controlled. Webinar on recognizing #VirtualAutism this Wed. 8pm ET. Info & register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi… #brain #health
Children and Screens and others have determined that tv viewing is associated with detrimental outcomes for infants under 18 months, especially at bedtime. @dish @primevideo, your commercial insidiously promotes problematic behavior and should be removed from the air immediately.

In a new @PrimeVideo ad @Dis, grandparents are told to use a #screen to babysit. Join members of the Children’s Screen Time Action Network @fairplayforkids and tell @dish to PULL THIS AD!

Don't be duped by the cute music and sweet baby. These companies don't have children's best interests at heart. Come on, Dish and Prime Video. This doesn't strengthen baby's neural pathways; it strengthens your bottom line. @dish @PrimeVideo ispot.tv/ad/OvPp/dish-networ…

According to a new @PrimeVideo ad running on @dish, grandparents need a screen to babysit their grandkids. That's absolutely ridiculous! Join members of our Children's Screen Time Action Network in calling on Dish to pull it–you can read their letter here: bit.ly/3GPLowS
