Week 1- Things May Not Be as They Really Seem

There are very few things worse than waiting hours and hours in a line for the most loved, highly glamorized, and extremely coveted theme park attraction just to find that when you reach the front of the line that the ride will be closed for the next HOUR.  Not to mention this was going to be the last ride of the night and 1st and only time one might get to ride it this trip. Then the question arises do you leave the line to go to the next best ride hoping that the wait there isn’t too long?

  In a world where technology is increasingly taking over much of our attention as a society on a regular basis, it is no wonder why people feel a lack of attention in most aspects of their life. Now more than ever you often times can’t even get through a conversation without receiving at least one notification. Regardless of if you check it or not at each buzz your mind is tugged from the current conversation and sharing focus with the new notification. A notification doesn’t have to stop at one buzz. We all have been in a group chat that does not stop “blowing up” and even in the midst of deep conversation our minds can become very distracted.  This has been a new challenge in parenting over the years and is showing the in the behavior of the children of this generation. Michael Popkin has created an Active Parenting Program that takes out the feelings of lacking attention and puts in the feelings of comradery between parents and children. It is likely that undesirable or “b...
