Jashin Howell: Strengthening Family Bonds Beyond Screens
And I started realizing that parents are unknowingly just handing kids these devices between ages two and eight. Where something happened, you created meaning behind it and then you created an I am statement associated to what happened for me.
Picture this: a family gathered around the dinner table, sharing stories and laughter without the distraction of screens. This is the vision Jashin Howell brings to life in his conversation with Donna and Izzie on 'Recovery On-Air'. Jashin, a Crossroads Alumni from 22 years ago, opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery and his latest mission, The F.A.M. Project. His initiative aims to pull families away from their devices and reconnect through meaningful interactions.
He passionately talks about how personal parent-child relationships are crucial for the development and safety of children. Jashin doesn’t just stop at theory; he offers practical advice on how parents can create tech-free zones and moments in their homes. Think of 'rescuing the dinner table' as a start. This episode isn’t just about breaking away from screens; it’s about rebuilding connections that technology often erodes.
Alongside this, Jashin touches on his personal growth journey, shedding light on detoxification through the Ideal Protein diet and how choosing the right paths and people can significantly impact one’s recovery. If you’re a parent concerned about the digital age’s impact on your family or someone looking for inspiration in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. Jashin’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of fostering real-life connections for a better tomorrow.
