Learning to say no to people, not wanting small talk and not caring as much about what people say about them.

In this episode we chat with Larissa Mills, founder of Parenting in The Cell Phone Era. Larissa in her role as a teacher, parent and coach observed a dramatic increase in unwanted behaviour in children. She saw a link between cell phone use and this negative behaviour.

We have a lot to learn about this subject.
