When you're asking them to come to dinner or when you're asking them to spend less time? You are inadvertently putting them in survival mode. What they do is they don't like that change, they don't like being asked to step away from that good feeling, that high level of interaction.
In a world where even toddlers are glued to screens, it's crucial to understand how this digital immersion impacts young minds. On 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley and guest Derek Overstreet dive into the complex relationship between children, teens, and technology. They discuss recent research linking excessive screen time to mental health issues like depression and ADHD. Have you ever wondered if social media could be affecting your child's well-being?
This episode sheds light on the risks of cyberbullying and the damaging effects of negative online interactions. Dr. Riley emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, even though asking a child to put down their device can feel like pulling teeth. By staying informed and mindful, parents can help their kids navigate the digital world more healthily. Tune in for practical tips and a deeper understanding of how to balance screen time with mental wellness.
