We're at a time of new life! Headed into hyacinths and daffodils (at least the lucky are) and the April holidays. Our April virtues -- forgiveness, humility, graciousness -- draw from both the gentle season and its celebrations of Passover, Easter, and Ramadan, which are now upon us. Don't forget to check out our holiday pages for a rich variety of works that explain "the reason for the season" to the young. | |
One of the greatest challenges to the emotional and mental health of young people today is social media and screen addiction. Technology has connected us, but ratcheted up bullying, self-doubt, and self-loathing. We do not recommend phones for children before 6th grade, but if you, as a parent, are looking for ways to stay connected to your children while limiting their internet access, look no further than the Wisephone! This technology facilitates calling, texting, and photos, but little else—that's wise. | |
