    05/21 / 1 Comment

    By: Beatrice Moise Discover key factors to consider, such as their personality, level of development and level of maturity, with insights from a cognitive specialist and parenting coach.   I get this question a lot from my clients: When is my child ready for a smartphone? My answer: It’s not only about the specific age. Because kids are still developing, it’s essential that they form a sense of identity outside of technology—not with technology. That means parents need to understand each child’s unique level of readiness for the responsibility that comes with owning a smartphone. Here are a few ways to assess that readiness, based on personality, developmental stage and maturity. Personality:…

    One question I have for you is…What have you feed your spirit today? We are consumed with our everyday lives that we forget there is a world that exists beyond our four walls. I am not talking about your neighbor or co-workers I am referring to the spiritual world. What is that you say? It is the unseen influences that go beyond what we see, live and breathe. To illustrate the spiritual world and the need to feed it properly, let’s look at two brothers. These brothers lived happy lives, as far as we know.

    Let me let you in on a little secret—very few people know my heart. Thousands of friends and followers on social media, but I still find myself lonely at times.

They visited each other’s homes, they went to church together, their kids played, and they were a community. Now, relationships are built on a stranger and social media. We rely on people to give us advice to handle our day-to-day situations, in hopes of a fix. We listen to each other’s…
