Paper books over screens

The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades.

We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books.

It is better for their brain development.

And when we consider that our natural neuroplasticity—our capacity to adapt—is at its peak until around age 25, but can still be nurtured even after, it becomes clear that having screen-free time is also beneficial for adults.

It’s not that we don’t recognize the advantages these new technologies bring.

This is simply about protecting the development of our children!

Children have this extraordinary gift—the ability to live in their own fantasy worlds—and books have the unique power to nurture that trait!

    The Espers were magical creatures with incredibly potent skills, but the Seven Shapes—and in particular Atma, the Shape of Balance—were there to remind them that the more power they gained, the more cautiously they had to use it.
