There is a big dilemma out there about children watching television or online shows. Yes, screen time use is an issue for a lot of children but there is also still some educational benefits as well. A recent study shows that children in the early years who watch 'Sesame Street' programs, are likely to do better at school because of the pre-exposure to learning concepts. Even though these are very good points, it is not to be over-used or the only educational exposure a young child should have. Read the full article below on Global National News with Julie Romanowski and what she reveals as some potential pitfalls and beautiful benefits.

Julie Romanowski has been providing tips and insight into many Parenting topics that range from anxiety, aggressive behaviour and development - that surround being a parent in this day and age. The latest topic discussed with Meghan Collie from Global National Online News, is about how more and more Father's are taking on the role as the primary caregiver which usually landed on the Mother's lap of responsibilities.

Travelling with children of any age can have limitations and barriers that can sometimes hinder our vacation experience and leave us feeling frustrated and disappointed from the outcome. It's important to remember a few key factors before jet-setting, sailing off or jumping onto that road trip.


7 KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE TRAVELLING WITH KIDS

1.) INTENTION - sounds obvious but you would be surprised at how many people don't do this step and things tend to spiral out of control in a undesirable way. Setting an intention helps anchor the purpose and can even lighten the stress-load for the upcoming trip or vacation with the family.

2.) RESEARCH - find out what places and events that align with you and your intentions. I like to also ask 'what will keep everyone as successful as possible?'. It may not be your absolute ideal dream getaway but it can certainly have elements that are rewarding. 

3.) ACCEPTANCE - sometimes our imaginations run wild and we can get stuck in a trap of wanting the 'perfect' trip however, when it comes to travelling as a family, many barriers can get in the way such as children's ages, rollercoaster of feelings/emotions, fatigue, hunger, illnesses, closures, detours and even cancellations. Learning to accept things JUST AS THEY ARE can be challenging but very necessary to curb any disappointments or frustrations of the holiday.

4.) PLAN - design a check list of everything you want. Then re-visit the list and highlight the things that are more realistic and likely to happen. Include everyone's needs and agenda as best as possible. Make sure you feel secure with this step and that it resonates with you in a positive manner.

5.) DISCUSS - have a meeting with the kids to go over all the details of the plan. Adapt language and length of discussion according to your child's age or abilities.

6.) TAKE IT EASY - remember to take your time, take moments to breathe and schedule time to just sit and do nothing. These restorative practices can really help make for a more quality experience and help you feel more grounded.

7.) ENJOY - even the smallest moments. Any time spent together as a family is a good thing to help bond and connect deeper and remember it's the journey, not the destination!

Kids screaming & fighting with each other? Days dragging on too long? Summer drinks on the patio being interrupted by the child's demands? If your summer plans are not going quite as you had hoped, it's okay, there is still time to turn things around. Here are some ideas to consider that may help the rest of the summer go a little more smoothly!
​

• Encourage children to make a 'bucket list' of events/activities through out the summer that include being with others and on their own, having a cost and ones for free, being indoors and outdoors. Let them dream about anything and everything they want but also make it very clear that not everything will be approved. Get creative by adding in some art/craft supplies and designing them in a way to enhance the activity.

• Create a daily schedule that includes activities where each child and/or family member is on their own. This could be in separate spaces within the home or out in the community. It's important for kids to have 'alone time' so they can extend their focus on activities that interest them and it helps keep them less distracted by outside distractors. Strategically place it between meals, activities, get-togethers, playdates and other important appointments. Some children enjoy an easy-going morning where others may benefit from slowing things down before bedtime. Ensure they are still safe and looked after.

• Talk to the kids about scheduling time for doing 'nothing' on their own. They may resist at first because most children are on the go and in so many activities but this doesn't have to be the only option. Discuss the benefits of relaxing, breathing and other ways to decompress. Start with small stints of time and work up to more. Also, let them know that this is a positive thing and not a punishment or consequence. It's like charging your battery so you feel restored.

• Let them know when they get YOU! Most kids really like interacting with their parents but it can be exhausting having to constantly 'entertain them'. Try scheduling some one-on-one time with your child during the day or week where it's just you and them - no distractions, no one else and letting them take the lead. Start with 5-10 minutes and then work your way up to more if you can. Investing time with them this way and 'topping up' their tank, can allow for them to feel satisfied with the interactive experience and then move on to something else with out having to rely on you as much for entertaining them.

SUMMER BREAK IS HERE! …...and there is nothing kids want to do more than spending their entire days (and nights) on their favorite screens! But hold on, a parenting expert says "NO WAY!" and that we parents have to encourage our kids to not solely rely on screen time to 'entertain' themselves or to have alternate options for 'relaxing' and calming down. Julie Romanowski is back again on the Global TV National News 'ask an expert' segment sharing more tips like these on summer screen time!

 Alert!!: be aware of a disturbing new 'practice' that parents think is great but is actually really detrimental to kids! It's the viral videos going around on the internet about how parents will demonstrate IN FRONT OF THE CHILD an aggressive beating of the child's beloved teddy bear/stuffie. Although I fully understand that it can be extremely challenging and frustrating to get your child to eat healthy food and to eat their meals quickly, parents have to be very mindful of how they "encourage" their child to eat as the long term impacts can be devastating! Julie Romanowski discusses with CTV News what these long term impacts are as well as positive solutions to help encourage children at the dinner table.

You would never give 'cold/flu medication' to a child for a broken leg, so why would you apply a disciplinary technique like 'time out' to a child who has made a mistake? Children need to be taught by their parents/teachers/educators/caregivers the difference between RIGHT and WRONG in each situation and scenario. Never assume they know or that it is obvious. Kids have so many things going on in their worlds that they need that #1 person in their lives to help them through the storm so they know for next time what is expected of them. This also sends a very strong energetic message to them that 'they matter' and have worth and value because you saw the importance to teach them correctly.

3 TIPS TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN DISCIPLINE
1.) Stay CALM & NEUTRAL: our own emotions and stress need to stay out of this area....always.
2.) Focus on finding the MESSAGE behind the behaviour: children's behaviour is communication...always.
3.) Stay CONNECTED & emotionally available at this difficult time: kids need you to re-connect with them when they have made a mistake, acted out inappropriately and are vulnerable....always.

There has been a lot of controversy around competitive sports both in school sports and extra-curricular sports and the culture around 'winning & losing'. Many parents believe their children should learn these sports along with all the benefits of interactions, fitness and team work however, there is a grey area for kids who aren't good or can't perform well in these organized sports and shouldn't be put on the spot or shamed because of it.

Interactions with other children are extremely important for good development however, nothing should ever be 'forced'. Unfortunately in the school system has a curriculum to follow to help kids learn certain skills and the physical education curriculum has an even more specific goal. What are your thoughts on kids physical activities and the expectation to perform in games such as dodgeball or competitive sports?

Julie Romanowski weighs in on this topic about the options around this outcome and how we can be inclusive and yet still offer the same benefits of competitive sports.
