About this listen

This week we visit Lardelli Park in Putney NSW and examine phone use in the playground.  

 

We discuss the effects phone use, in the playground, has on children AND their parents and the ways that the distraction has altered the emotional state of parents and caregivers.

 

We consider why parents feel the need to capture every moment of their child’s life and how this impacts the body image and self esteem of our children.

We way up the pros and cons of phone use in the playground and discuss how complex topics such as phone use, need to be questioned and reflected on, in order to be a purposeful & conscious parent.

 

We ask, if we’re not sure why we do things, such as overuse of our phones with our children, then why do we keep doing it?
