Kids safe tv viewing.

As I'm watching the cute family movie on Saturday night "walking with dinosaurs. " Each ad segment contains seductive gambling advertising - fireworks and suggestions of winning the completion and the like. 

Now I'm no wowser and have been known to buy the odd lottery ticket. 

My beef is with the timing. 

An R18 activity such as gambling should be restricted to later evening scheduling. 

This would limit many children seeing R18 activities. 

Gambling providers should be held accountable just as alcohol advertisers are. 

As a psychologist I'm concerned we are conditioning our youngsters impressionable minds and feel a duty to say so.

In the Land of Overwhelm. Social Media sucks.

I'm sitting here, it's Monday morning. The diary has it marked it as marketing Monday. 

And it's not happening, hmm I'm even blogging to avoid it.  If anything it's mindless Monday. 

Sure I'm in bed (but hey I watched Suze Orman and that's where she writes everything !) and I've got the IPhone- marketed to those with poor eyesight. See largest screens available. 

Do I have a mission, a passion? 

Yes of course but it feels likes it deserted me as I roam the land of overwhelm. 

In the land of overwhelm there are great articles to read - the "how to's" the "top 60 must knows for social media" just add Instagram, Facebook, Pininterest or you fav time waster here. 

Fantastic reads they are, but they all lead me to a slight sense of desperation, hopelessness and helplessness. 

I'm right back at the start again not starting. 

Wishing I had the answer and I don't.  

Social media in general is pretty cool but for me today it sucks ! 

Guess this is a raw post from a real person, who also happens to be a psychologist and at times an entrepreneur. 

Wanting to help others but feeling stuck in social media overwhelm. Sure I know it'll pass. 

I'm really a country kid in this big city of Sydney. 

Please let me know if you've ever felt this way too. 

There is something to sharing this message black type on white background. 

Maybe the cat and I will just snuggle. Inspiration comes another day.
