The Importance of Distraction-Free Parenting 

"The U.S. Board of Labor Statistics states that the average American parent spends less than 2 hours a day in child related activity, with mothers characteristically spending more time than fathers. You can do better. Play with your children. Read to them. Cook with them. Go for hikes and bike rides. Visit museums. Time together in the living room with everyone on a different device doesn’t count. But time watching the same TV show or playing the same game and — here’s the important part – having a thoughtful conversation about what’s going on does."

Presenter: Teri Mills- Manuel, LPC-S, RPT-S

Counseling is my second career. Before I had children, I worked as a middle school teacher in California and Texas. As I listened to the kids' daily stories of both the good and the bad in life, I was drawn to the idea of becoming a counselor at some point in my life. Then 13 years later, as my youngest son began school, I decided it was time. I was privileged to be able to study at and work for the Center for Play Therapy at the University of North Texas, under the direction of Dr. Garry Landreth and Dr. Sue Bratton. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Nationally Certified Counselor.

I am always trying to grow as an individual, a wife, a mother, a friend and a daughter. In that way, I am on a similar journey as you.

Teri is a Counselor and Registered Play Therapist at the Center for Biblical Counseling, McKinney.
