Resilience and use of devices in children: Dr Mark Williams discusses device addiction in children and provides advice and training programs for parents, teachers and children.

Dr. Mark Williams started the Neuroscience for Kindy Kids program and has worked in outreach programs to Primary and High Schools. Mark's goal is to inspire people to be curious about the world and to enjoy science, or at least recognise how important it is. Mark's own story of his rise to success from school drop out to eminent, international professor is incredibly inspiring for any child or adult to hear - showing us how our potential can be tapped. Mark helps us to understand why 'smart phones are making us dumb' and he shares how Apps are designed to make us addicted to them and can make us unhealthy and potentially produce the opposite of what they should. Mark explains why the children of today who control their device usage will be the more successful adults of tomorrow.To contact Dr. Mark Williams please visit www.drmarkwilliams.com or www.connectedteachersacademy.com.Or you can email him on [email protected] find a psychologist in your area visit www.psychology.org.auLifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 11 14To find out more about Dr. Amanda Ferguson, you can visit her website at www.dramandaferguson.com.auOr connect with her on Facebook or LinkedIn
