Very interesting considering the number of parents who notice an increase in symptoms with screen time. "The current study indicates that higher screen time use is associated with new-onset OCD in early adolescents. The findings should increase awareness around screen use and its possible role in OCD development. Videos and video games had the strongest associations between screen time and OCD and offer focus points for future research and interventions to prevent OCD development in early adolescence." https://lnkd.in/dcmcfD5q

Play is important in supporting optimal brain development in infants and young children, but also relational health and social-emotional development. It is so wonderful to see more research into the benefits of play, play therapy, and play-based approaches and providing an evidence-base to accompany the already strong and robust practice-base. Personally, I would like to see more post qualitative inquiries that moves towards "doing with" infants and children in research and open opportunities for their subjective experiencing to inform best practice and intervention acting as a counterpoint to therapies and protocols that "do to" children and parents/caregivers. Key points from the article are: 🎈 Play in the early years forges essential neural pathways, impacting future growth and learning. 🎈 Children are biologically wired for play, and diverging from this can hinder their development. 🎈 The research integrates the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, suggesting play as a means of mental health recovery for children. 🌟 Considering the lockdowns in Melbourne are now classified as an adverse childhood event, this is especially important for children living in Melbourne or who lived in Melbourne during COVID-19 🌟 #infantmentalhealth #playtherapy #earlyintervention https://lnkd.in/gC2ubAuq

🌟 Unleash Your Child's Potential with Neurofeedback 🌟 When your child struggles with a learning impairment, as a loving parent, you're determined to help them reach their full potential. But what if there was a drug-free, non-invasive solution that goes beyond traditional therapies and medications? Enter neurofeedback, a cutting-edge technology that's changing the game for kids and teens facing ADHD and learning impairments. https://lnkd.in/d_kpfiMx Neurofeedback is like a window into your child's mind, utilizing the brain's electrical energy, or brain waves, to unlock their unique mental strengths and weaknesses. Through a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) mapping, our coaches can identify areas where brain activity is imbalanced or not coordinating properly. Many children with learning disabilities are simply "stuck" in the wrong brainwave patterns. Neurofeedback aims to break those patterns and teach their brains to function at a whole new level. ✨ With neurofeedback, the benefits go beyond improved focus and attention. Picture your child confidently excelling in school, enjoying better sleep, and feeling calmer and less stressed. Imagine their performance at tasks reaching new heights, their memory sharpening, and their overall well-being flourishing. 💭 If you're a mom of a teenager or child struggling with learning impairments or symptoms of ADHD, it's time to explore the transformative power of neurofeedback. Discover a unique approach backed by science and give your child the opportunity to thrive academically and in all areas of life. ✨ Call us today at (844) 272-4666 or visit our website https://lnkd.in/d_kpfiMx for more information about neurofeedback and how it can make a difference in your child's life. Together, let's unlock their potential and watch them soar above any limitations! 🌟 #UnlockPotential #Neurofeedback #ADHD #LearningImpairments #TransformativeTherapy #UnleashTheirPotential

I was in deep conversation with my Infusion Nurse about Children and Video Games, "screen time," etc... As a Parent, I believe "we" covet what "we" see, every day. I imposed limits. Do you? "Teens who #engage in “#transcendent #thinking” can #counteract the #negative #effects of violence #exposure on #brain development. This type of thinking involves considering broader ethical and societal implications of social issues." The #study showed that such #reflective #thinking leads to brain #growth even in #teens from high-#violence #communities. These #findings emphasize the #importance of #fostering reflective thinking #skills in #adolescents. Key Facts: Transcendent Thinking: Helps teens counteract negative brain effects from violence. Brain Growth: Reflective thinking promotes growth in areas affected by #violence. Study Findings: Teens engaging in deeper thought show greater brain #resilience. https://lnkd.in/ewsp3haw

*ARE YOU MONITORING YOUR KIDS SCREEN TIME?* Teen Psychosis Risk May Be Linked to Computer and Video Game Use Kids playing too many video games and spending too much time online has long concerned parents, but new research has found that these activities may be associated with psychotic experiences. Teenagers who spend a lot of time playing video games and on the computer are more likely to have a psychotic experience, according to a new paper in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. These psychotic experiences ranged in extremity from mild suspiciousness and bizarre ideas to delusions and hallucinations. The researchers studied a cohort of 1,226 participants born between 1997 and 1998, and found that those who played more video games, and those who increased then decreased their computer usage, were more likely to have a psychotic experience at some point before the age of 23. "Trajectories of higher video gaming and increasing-then-decreasing ("curved") computer use during adolescence were associated with higher levels of psychotic experiences at age 23 years," the researchers—from McGill University in Canada—wrote in the paper. https://lnkd.in/eepErtCx

Neuroplasticity in Children Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change and adapt, is especially active in children, with their brains forming about 1 million new neural connections every second. This rapid development sets the stage for lifelong learning and cognitive abilities. The Mechanisms of Neuroplasticity: Children's brains dynamically create, reorganize, and strengthen neural pathways in response to learning and experiences. Each new experience—whether walking, learning a language, or playing—modifies the brain's structure and function. Supporting Neuroplasticity in Children: Parents and caregivers can foster healthy brain development by: 1. Encouraging Learning and Exploration: - Engage in play and interactive activities. - Introduce new experiences like visiting places or trying new activities. 2. Promoting Communication and Sensory Skills: - Regularly talk and read to children. - Provide sensory-rich experiences, like playing with textured objects or listening to music. 3. Keeping Children Physically Active: - Encourage physical activities such as running, climbing, and sports. - Develop coordination and balance through various games. 4. Ensuring Healthy Sleep: - Prioritize consistent and adequate sleep. - Establish a calming bedtime routine. 5. Building Healthy Routines: - Maintain a consistent daily schedule. - Integrate learning into everyday activities. The Lifelong Impact of Early Neuroplasticity: A stimulating environment supports neuroplasticity, helping children develop essential skills and abilities. By fostering exploration, communication, physical activity, healthy sleep, and routines, we can help children reach their full potential and set the foundation for lifelong learning and growth. #neuroplasticity #childdevelopment #brainhealth #earlylearning #parentingtips #childbrain #learningthroughplay #cognitivegrowth #healthyhabits #brainadaptability
