3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #112, 30th August 2022

Our phones, computers, watches are all connected. They are delicious and they are tempting! They are going to stay, not go away. How much time, energy, focus are we going to spend on them, with them? How much are we going to be influenced by the clicks we make? Our students and children are digital natives. What about you, parents and teachers? legislations, regulations or self management… what is in our control? Self control is one of the tools of the trade that each one of us can use, can train, can plan, can pre-empt getting sucked in? Here are some strategies for you to consider and in the meanwhile, check your screentime. Think about your temptations in a strategic way and hone self control.
