This week we're talking play...the kind that actually works. Our guest, Dr. Kim Van Dusen (aka "The Parentologist," 120K+ followers strong) breaks down how a little more creativity and playfulness can transform parenting — from getting tweens off the couch, to screen time battles, to finally cracking the "I'm bored" script. She's got a brand new book, Parenting Through Play, and she's sharing the good stuff. Plus: our highs and lows (including a soccer jersey mystery none of us can solve), one dog's odd behavior that led to an early cancer catch, and a quick tech tip to save your eyes during your next scroll.
ENA: A dog's odd behavior led to an early cancer diagnosis. A woman's Chihuahua kept persistently pawing at her — behavior that seemed strange until she realized it was leading her to a breast lump. She got checked out and caught a breast cancer diagnosis early, likely because her dog wouldn't let it go. Global Positive News
Tech Tip: try the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to give your eyes a quick reset.
