These findings from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association underscore a concerning truth: children from lower-income households face limited access to sports, depriving them of the invaluable benefits sports offer.

The concept of failing as a learning tool is profoundly impactful, particularly in the realm of digital gaming. This medium allows individuals to experiment, make mistakes, and try again without fear of judgment or real-world consequences. The iterative process inherent in gaming mirrors real-life learning experiences, where failure is not the end but a steppingstone toward mastery as we witnessed by Olympians these past few weeks. By embracing failure, players can develop resilience and problem-solving skills, essential for navigating life's challenges.

Is your son's device time feeling out of control? As parents, you can encourage balance by setting clear guidelines on screen time, encouraging/insisting on physical activities, promoting social interactions through sports, clubs, play dates and engaging in shared screen time to ensure the content is appropriate and educational. Being on devices together can be great fun and help you connect which also helps with setting limits!
