Online gambling has fueled a surge in gambling addiction. It's different/harder to treat than substance dependence.

(Plus- “Money [That’s What I Want]”)

Today we are shamelessly reposting from @wildkrattstv as we're heading off this afternoon for a glamping weekend! Anyway - as a bit of a tech-head, I do believe that not all screentime get in the way of kids connecting more with nature. For example, Wild Kratts is one of my son’s favourite #tvseries on @netflixuk - it’s an animated show based on real-life #zoologist brothers and teaches kids about #wildanimal species. 🐵⠀ Kids can learn about animal behaviour and habitats plus also about conservation and environmental issues. My son loves it and often brings up interesting facts & figures in conversation that he's learnt from watching. We'd totally recommend checking it out, especially as it gets 4/5 on #commonsensemedia. #tech #switchon #science #tv #parenting #nature #homeed #conservation #youngnaturalist ⠀ ...⠀ "WOW Fact Friday! 🙌⠀ ⠀ Praying mantises can be found all over the world. There are over 2,400 described species, but many more exist and are waiting to be discovered! They come in a variety of shapes and colours and are masters of blending into their surroundings. Some resemble the bark from a tree or petals on a flower, while others mimic dead leaves blowing in the wind!⠀ ⠀ One reason for their cryptic nature is that these predatory insects like to ambush their food. They will lie in wait for prey to venture within range. When they do, the mantid lunges forward and extends its raptorial arms, reinforced with muscles and sharp spines, in one speedy execution. Their warrior-like strike can happen in 30 to 50 one-thousandths of a second! That’s quicker than the blink of an eye!⠀ ⠀ Mantises are known for their lighting fast front legs, but they can also be statue-like too! Praying mantises can hold still for hours in order to avoid detection from predators like birds, spiders, and even other mantids!⠀ ⠀ #wildkratts #wowfact #prayingmantis #krattbrothers #chriskratt #martinkratt #animals #insects #creatureadventuring #animation #pbskids" https://www.instagram.com/p/CGHhW1JnlLf/?igshid=1j99s839poglr

📺 A fun commercial I was in for @commonsenseorg. This one aired during the Olympics in 2016. I was actually watching them with my dad when the ad came on. After it played, I said to him, “Did that guy look familiar?” He said, "No." So we rewound it. I thiiink after maybe 2 more watches he realized it was me lol. You gotta love dads 😂 The ad was actually written as me getting a call from Craig's List. But in one of the final takes they let me improv, and the mom line came out 😄 . 🎭 As an actor, really my biggest fear (and probably my only fear) is that people that actually live whatever I am playing don't believe my performance. In other words, in this commercial I wanted to do everything I could so that real gymnasts believed I was actually a gymnast. I don’t think I got very close 🙈 lol but I did my best 😅 I was actually going to gymnastics club once a week back then, so I spent time with the gymnastics instructor, and he showed me how to hold my hands on an iron cross. He also loaned me ring grips so I could practice putting them on. If only I could have put on 20 pounds of muscle in a week 😂 . Even when it's for a small role like this, I take my work pretty seriously. It’s too much fun not to : ) . 🎩 Co-star: @guyerkc 🎭My agent: @sluagency 🎥 Production: @droptree_productions 🏫 Casting co: Free Spirit Casting . #Actor #Acting #Model #CommonSense #CommonSenseMedia #DropTree #FreeSpirit #Gymnastics #Gymnast #IronCross #Mom #CraigsList #Olympics #SLU #SLUagency #EAA #EngageArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOrYGrgOo8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mqja6cgmsctx

Episode 53: Digital Citizenship Starting Points & Homegrown Teacher Patricia Caliento

[mommylovestech]

So apparently, parents are now PAYING "tutors" to help their children play the video game #FortNite better... (WTH) Really?!?! What do you think? First of all, there's rarely a day that goes by when my 7-year-old doesn't ask me to get this game for him. He says "all his friends" play it. But you know what, I have a no-game-console policy in my house, and furthermore I try to make sure games he IS allowed to play on his iPad are age appropriate and according to @CommonSenseMedia Fortnite is NOT appropriate for children under 12. What do you think about this? Do you let your younger kids play this game? And if so, do you know how the game works and the violence/guns involved in it? I'm curious to know because if you don't let your kids play this, I need help! What do you tell them and how do you not give in?
