Why are kids more addicted to screens than ever before? The answer may have a lot to do with how quickly technology has changed the way children grow up.
In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how phones, tablets, video games, and constant access to entertainment are impacting the way children think, communicate, problem-solve, and interact with the world around them.
From instant gratification and declining creativity to frustration, perseverance, and social development, they discuss why constantly having entertainment available can make it harder for kids to embrace boredom, work through challenges, and enjoy the process of accomplishing something.
They also discuss practical ways parents can create healthier boundaries around technology, including limiting devices at home, keeping phones out of bedrooms, encouraging activities away from screens, and recognizing how your own technology habits influence what your children do.
If you're a parent trying to raise healthy, resilient kids in a world where screens are everywhere, this episode will help you better understand the problem and start building healthier technology habits at home.
