LIKE: A Documentary about the Impact of Social Media on our Lives
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE VIEWING - FREE
ARE YOU USING TECHNOLOGY OR IS TECHNOLOGY USING YOU?
LIKE is an IndieFlix Original documentary that explores the impact of social media on our lives. Technology is a tool. It’s here to stay and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care, but what’s really happening? Are we addicted? How do we stop? Where do we start? What do we need to know? By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain, on our lives and on our civilization, we can learn how to navigate it more safely together.
Our goal for this film is to inspire people of all ages, especially kids, to self regulate. It’s not about blame. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.

Discussion to follow facilitated by Dr. Devorah Heitner and Liz Repking.
No Drama Discipline: Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Brain
Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears—without causing a scene.
Defining the true meaning of the “d” word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth. By doing so, the cycle of negative behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation.
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, author of “No Drama Discipline: The Whole Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child’s Developing Brain,” “The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity and Resilience in Your Child,” and “The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How their Brains Get Wired”
