DON’T JOKE WITH THIS PRAYER:

Dear God, Remove the fear that keeps me small and replace it with faith that reminds me I was made for more.

Amen.

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

Lately, I've been including this in my prayer: "If I'm not meant to have it, Lord, please remove the desire from my heart to want it, and help me find peace in its absence."

One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make is exposing their children to screens too early.

A 2023 study published in JAMA Pediatrics followed over 7,000 children and found that those with higher screen time at age 1 showed significantly more developmental delays by age 2.

We’re talking language, problem-solving, social skills.

If you’re not yet a parent, hear this clearly.

One of the greatest gifts you can give your future child is limiting screen exposure from day one.

And when I say limit, I don’t mean “reduce it a bit.” I mean don’t normalize it around them.

At that age, your child is studying you.

Watching you. Copying you.

If you’re always on your phone, always pressing something, always staring at a screen, they become curious.

What’s so interesting on that device?

Why does mummy or daddy keep going back to it?

You can’t fight curiosity you’re modeling every day.

You can’t say “don’t touch it” when you’re glued to it.

If you’re serious about protecting your child’s development, treat screens the way you would treat something inappropriate.

You don’t display it casually. You don’t make it accessible. You control the environment.

No TV constantly running in the sitting room.

No phone-as-babysitter.

No background noise from cartoons all day.

The earlier years are foundational.

That brain is wiring itself based on real human interaction.

A child learns to talk because people talk to them.

They pick up emotional cues from faces, tone, eye contact.

They build attention span through boredom, exploration, touch, movement.

When screens replace that, the wiring changes. And it shows up years later in a classroom.

Another study from the National Institutes of Health found that children who spent more than two hours a day on screens had lower scores on thinking and language tests.

Their brain scans actually looked different.

This isn’t opinion.

We’re seeing more speech delays. More attention struggles.

Children who can swipe a screen before they can speak in full sentences. And it’s not mysterious.

When a child’s brain gets used to rapid cuts, bright colors, algorithm-driven stimulation, and instant dopamine hits, then you hand them a book and expect focus… that’s a difficult transition.

You can’t train deep focus on a brain conditioned for constant stimulation.

And then we blame the child.

The truth is, most of it started with the environment.

Yes, there are “educational shows.” Yes, moderation matters.

But nothing replaces direct teaching. Direct conversation. Play. Storytelling. Eye contact. Silence. Boredom.

If you already have kids and screens are already part of the home, adjust gradually. Set new boundaries. It’s not too late for the brain to adapt.

But if you’re yet to become a parent… start with intention.

Create a home where screens are tools, not background noise.

Where interaction beats animation.

Where your child’s brain develops from real life, not pixels.

Your child’s first screen habit is watching yours.

after a certain age, it is literally your responsibility, no one’s else, to teach yourself the things you were deprived of, to unlearn and let go of all the toxic habits, because flaunting anger issues, being emotionally unavailable, and not being able to communicate your feelings seems like nothing more than an excuse. life is unfair to everyone in various ways, a little to some, a lot to others. you cannot spend your whole life whining and complaining about how cruel it was to you; the trauma inflicted upon you cannot be justified, but it is your duty to heal, grow, and feel safe in your mind.

Girls, please PICK THE GENTLE ONE. The kind one. The one who brings you peace. The protective one. The one who is sure of you. The one who respects you. The one who understands your silence. . The one who sees your heart without judgment. The one who holds your dreams with care.
