good for Dot

Mark Zuckerberg's sister Randi, who has a 2 year old child, has written a book for children called DOT.  Dot is a small bright child who loves technology to the point of obsession.  But a little push in the right direction gives Dot a bigger view and she finds she is better off when she looks up from the screen.

This ties in a bit with the .b programme, see the dot before the b? This programme comes out of the Mindfulness in Schools project and suggests that stopping breathing and BE is a good tool.  So, two recommendations for the meditator or would be meditator or meditator with grandchildren wanting to introduce them to a world beyond the internet and out into the the natural world.  Get Dot. for yourself to read to the grandchildren, it's washable too.  And explore the .b programme.  This is the way forward to wonder. And once you are wondering, then you begin to question and all questions have answers, good questions especially get good answers.
And you can come and listen to 4 wonderful people talking about all this on November 20th at St Martin-in-the-Fields.  The programme starts at 9.00 am, and the speakers speak at 10.30 am.  Visit the Just this Day website for information  and then get there as early as you can, it will be very full.
