Parents, Know the Good and the Ugly in Electronics and Your Child


Parents today, in their quest to give their kids the best of everything may not think about how electronic devices affect their child's hearing. Many people today, including an alarming number of young people, experienced noticeable hearing loss.

You see, when people listen with headphones-or more commonly today, earbuds, the sound is close to the eardrum. Take that fact into account and add that we live in a noisy environment and people tend to turn up the volume on their listening device to cover the extraneous sounds--to block them out. They wind up with very high listening volumes playing next to their eardrums.

That is one reason sound canceling headphones are a good and healthy choice. Their price tag is often in the $200-$300 range. Why would parents purchase the good MP3 player and then not spend the extra $200-$300 on the headphones that may protect their child's hearing? Isn't your child's hearing priceless?

On the subject of electronics-how much is a good thing and how much is dangerous? What kind of emissions do today's cell phones release-the ubiquitous cell phone that even young children carry? Muscle test someone holding a cell phone-not even turned on-and you will get weakness. Something to think about...PLEASE!

Can you protect your child from that energy drain or rearrangement of your cellular structure? There are devices out there that seem to help. Magnetic insoles, Claris Q links, purple plate jewelry, to name a few. Search online  for more information.

Electronics lead people to spend more time in front of computers. You can counter unhealthy energy emissions simply by placing Epsom salts in a porous container that holds about one cup. Place it by the computer set-up. Change the salt every week.

There is another consideration-eyesight. More and more people are complaining of eyestrain and something a bit more frightening-losing clear vision after staring at a computer screen for many hours. In fact, a common complaint is that there appears to be a gray film over one or both eyes so things are not easily seen. That effect is temporary-in the beginning.

I suggest seeing a developmental optometrist who can fit your child with special computer eyeglasses. I also urge you to teach your child healthy viewing habits such as looking away from the screen and focusing on an object that is at least 12 feet away every 3 minutes or so. And getting up and walking around about every 30 minutes.

Of course those practices are wise for vision even when reading a book. You want to keep those eye muscles balanced and working as they were intended to work. After all, human eyes were created for distance viewing-as in outdoors-not close viewing all day long as in indoors.




What you focus on expands and manifests in your life. Discover how your brain and mind influence your choice of focus completely out of your awareness--and what to do about it.
