What is screen time doing to our children’s brains and development? If you are a parent (like me), you may be concerned about your children being exposed to screens, the amount of screen time they are having, what kind of content they are seeing, and how all of this is affecting their brains and mental health. In this game changing episode, I talk with Dr Victoria Dunckley, an integrative child psychiatrist, about what Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS) is, how screen time is affecting our children, what to do if one of our children have ESS, the myths around technology and kids being left behind and so much more. Tune in and learn how you can protect your children, their brains and their childhood.
