Clinical Psychologist: What Screen Time is Doing to Our Kid’s Brains + How to Stop it From Affecting Your Family

Listen to this episode from Life With Danni Duncan on Spotify. Have you ever handed over the iPad just so you could have a moment in peace… and then wondered what it’s really doing to your kids? Are meltdowns actually coming about because of screen time? Or is it something deeper? Is two hours of “approved” screen time still too much? What’s happening to our kids’ brains when they can’t sit in the car without a device? And what damage are we doing long term if social media is raising our teenagers more than we are? This week I’m sitting down with psychologist Dr. Grace Hancock to talk about exactly that, and let me tell you… some of her answers shocked me. Stick around to find out: The link between screens, sleep and your child’s mood Why the hardest age for parents is also the most dangerous for kids What’s really going on when your child “loses it” after screen time The mistake most families make when trying to implement new screentime rules One small change you can make tonight that could change everything The future of technology and our kid’s mental health … and SO much more Want more of Dr. Grace Hancock?
