This week article is ‘Soft Eyes’. Other articles from this term include:

• Hope Builders
• Brain Chemistry Hacks for Better Learning
• 15 Ways to raise kids who bounce back 

The webinar highlight this week is: Enough

The rise of online gaming, Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok has changed the way kids relate to one another. But it’s also changed their expectations for one another, and themselves, and is associated with anxiety, perfectionism, bullying, and self-loathing. In short, our children are worried that they are not enough, and their daily interactions with one another, their screens, and even with us are reinforcing that fear.
