In the conversation about government banning of sugary drinks to curb diabetes and death, warning labels to emphasize the death toll cigarettes take on us and the general dumbing down of America by the offerings of the media and television, let us not forget our responsibilities as parents and conscious adults to STEP IN and give our children CONSTANT feedback about THINKING outside of the constant, unrelenting BRAINWASHING that leads us to boredom and early demise. We can halt this comfortable suffocation of our brilliance. Let’s emphasize our children and ourselves.

THINK FIRST:

– before I put this in my mouth, is it good for me? – before I behave this way, is it good for me and others? – when I think this way, is it good for me and others? – ask yourself: what other positive ways or solutions can I think of in this situation? – what other creative, expansive activities can I do that do not involve electronics?

We are more than our bodies. Let’s keep them in touch with that fact. Let’s take our power back! What other ways can we thwart this comfortable suffocation?
