Unlock the secrets to balancing family life with the digital world as we take a heartfelt look at parenting in the era of screens. We share relatable stories that are sure to bring a smile—from our children's amusing digital faux pas to the moments we've all guiltily handed over a tablet to buy some peace and quiet. Yet, we also tackle the tougher topics, like the research that probes into screen time's impact on child development, and confess our own struggles in an age where technology is both a lifeline and a point of contention.
Navigating the maze of sensory processing in children can be a challenge, and this episode doesn't shy away from the complexities. We examine intriguing research linking screen time to atypical sensory behaviours and dissect the domains of the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile. But it's not all academic—we keep it grounded with personal experiences and the light-hearted reality of "selective hearing" that every parent knows all too well.
In a powerful close, we pivot to global health issues, with an inspiring conversation featuring an advocate who's making waves in the fight against childhood cancer in Tanzania. Dr Trish Scanlan talks us through early signs of childhood cancer and what to watch out for. Her passionate efforts remind us that while the world is filled with challenges, each of us holds the potential to ignite change. We share insights on the role of healthcare professionals in conflict zones and the deep impact of their advocacy on protecting the young and innocent. Join us for an episode that's not just informative, but truly hopeful, demonstrating the incredible difference we can make, one child at a time.
