SUMMARY:Building Better Brains
DESCRIPTION:  \nAs parents\, we see the meltdowns when the tablet is taken away. But what is happening inside the brain? \nJoin us for a deep dive with Emma Wijnberg\, a seasoned Paediatric Occupational Therapist\, as she reveals what she is seeing in her practice:\n• Physical: Why fine motor skills and core strength are declining.\n• Neurological: The “Dopamine Loop” and why kids are losing the ability to play independently\, focus and motivate themselves.\n• Emotional: Why “delayed gratification” has become a struggle for this generation. \nThis isn’t about guilt – it’s about gear-shifting. Learn how to use the power of play to rewire focus\, behaviour\, and joy – it might change your child’s developmental trajectory. Share with one friend who needs to hear this! \n🧑‍💻Everyone who registers will receive the recording and an OT-approved Screen-Free Play Checklist of activities that boost executive function!\n🌟And attendees have a chance to win some Swiitch tags on the night.\nKindly sponsored by Swiitch\, the physical tag that blocks distracting apps and notifications on your phone: https://getswiitch.com/?sca_ref=10919139.6g3hEfZKkAwsLg7
