Very important for every single person to read and implement. The www is extremely dangerous without appropriate monitoring and restrictions.

🛡️ Protecting Your Child Online: Parental Controls Made Simple 🛡️

Did you know you can guide your child’s online experiences without hovering over their every click? Parental controls are like a safety net—helping children explore, learn, and play online safely.

Here’s how to get started:

Device settings: Most phones, tablets, and consoles have built-in parental controls—set limits on apps, purchases, and screen time.

App controls: Apps like YouTube Kids, Netflix Kids, or Roblox have kid-friendly modes with filters for age-approp

Parental Control Apps: Ask your community for effective parental control apps that can be used to protect your child online

Safe search & browsing: Enable filters on search engines and browsers to block unsafe content.

Talk, don’t just control: Explain why controls are in place. When children understand the “why,” they’re more likely to respect boundaries.

Check-in, not spy: Monitor usage in a way that encourages conversation, not fear. Ask your child what they enjoy online and what worries them.

Tip for parents: Combine technology with open conversations—it’s not about restricting curiosity, it’s about guiding it safely.

💬 Parent challenge: Today, check your child’s device together and talk about one change you can make to keep their online world safer.

🌼 A Teddy Bear Picnic Ending 🌼

Today we closed our therapeutic journey with a Teddy Bear Picnic.

Endings are tough — for kids, and for therapists. They come with relief, sadness, and that strange little bubble in your chest when something meaningful reaches its final chapter.

The teddy bears sat with us… quiet, steady, almost like witnesses to everything we’ve worked through. Their presence softened the room, reminding us that we didn’t have to face the goodbye alone.

Children can do hard things.
What’s truly hard is doing hard things alone.

Today, we didn’t.
We ended together — with teddy bears, with shared memories, and with a sense of belonging that made the goodbye just a little easier.

🌿 Mindfulness Dag 3: Oksitosien-saterdag

Vandag is Saterdag en 15 minute was te min. Ek kies vandag vir oksitosien, daardie heerlike “sosiale sappie” wat in ons liggame vloei wanneer ons eg verbind.

Oksitosien is bekend as die ‘bonding hormone’ of ‘love hormone’; dit word vrygestel tydens aanraking, lag, spel, of selfs ‘n diep gesprek waar iemand regtig luister. Dis die biochemiese basis van binding/attachment. Dit bou vertroue, kalmeer die senuweestelsel en verlaag stresvlakke. Navorsing wys dat mense met hoë oksitosienvlakke meer empaties, vredevoller en selfs fisies gesonder is.

Ek het my dosis gekry met games saam met my seuntjie, ‘n fliek met my dogter, en later gaan daar nog rugby wees saam met manlief. Dis nie net tyd saam nie, dis teenwoordigheid, wedersydse aandag, en die klein oomblikke wat ons brein herinner: Ek bestaan. Ek is lewendig. Ek het lief.

Mindful uitdaging:
Soek vandag vir ‘n oomblik van opregte konneksie. Sit jou foon neer. Kyk iemand in die oë. Lag saam. Dis nie net mooi vir die hart nie, dis chemie vir die siel 🩵💙

Parents need to know what kids do on their devices and the amount of time (everyone) spent with devices needs to be monitored and limited.

The digital age has brought serious risk of screen addiction, particularly in children. This generation of youngsters is spending a lot of time indoors, on c...
