Addiction?

        You would think that only adults have addictions, but that’s not true. TV is a drug. Studies say that children should watch no more than two hours of television a day. They say that TV is potentially damaging because of the flashing bright colors, loud sounds, and frequent fragmentation of reality it is too much for young minds to manage. Although, parents say technology makes their children smarter it is proven that it isn’t that good for younger people. They do say that everything bad is good for you in a way. Just like any drug if you are exposed to it too much it dulls your senses. At dradamcox.com it states “The brain is an organ that is unique in that it develops in response to its environment – and if you’re continually “blasting” a young developing mind with rapid-fire images, you may be creating a mind that craves high level stimulation but lacks the ability to focus in attention” this shows us that children shouldn’t watch too much TV.                                                          Unción is only five years old and she has an addiction of watching television. After researching the cause of TV I am going to limit her time watching TV. She is really addicted to the TV because she watches it all day when she comes home from school and she watches it before school. She watches Lalaloopsy, Sofia the 1^st, Keeping up with the Kardashians, and Total Divas.  She doesn’t just watch kid shows she also watches adult shows. She loves watching movies like Brave, Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, and Frozen. I don’t think that it is bad for her to watch television I just think that when I am watching her I am only going to allow her to watch TV for 30 minutes. I don’t want her brain cells to be dead. I don’t want her to be addicted to drugs and if TV is a drug than I don’t want her to be addicted to it either. She loves not only the TV, but technology in general. I know she is going to throw a fit, but I just want to help her.

Happy Birthday Unción

    Unción's birthday was November 9th. She finally turned five years old and I feel so blessed to be a part of her life. In these five year I have learned many things about here and I've learned even more now. She is one of the biggest blessings God has ever given me. She was so excited and she keep telling everyone that she was finally a whole hand. Her birthday party was on November 1st. Her party was based on the movie Frozen and she was dressed up as Elsa. When she opened up her gifts she was happy because mostly everything was based on the movie  Frozen.  What really made everyone laugh was when she opened the gift my uncle bought her she said "Really that's all". I thought she was going to be happy because he bought her the Frozen movie, but I guess she really wasn't. She did ask me why they made her birthday party a week before her real birthday, but I really didn't know why. When we finally got home she was playing with her gifts and she thanked God for everything. She really taught me how to be grateful.
    Ever since she was born she went to church. The first day her parents took her to church they dedicated her to God. That's what they do to all the babies in the church. They say that the reason they named her Unción is because she is going to be anointed her whole life. Having that name gives her a big responsibility. That means that she going to have to be an example and a Christian her whole life. I guess it isn't going to be hard for her because that's the only life she knows about.  She wont be like me that I waited until something happened in my life to become a Christian. She already prays and reads the bible. When we tell people they are surprised because she is only five years old and she does things that a most Christian haven't even done yet. I don't think that it is going to be hard for her to be an example because she only learned good things since she was born.
