In a sense, technology is a drug, and a strong argument can be made that schools are pushing this drug.
Remember when classrooms were just chalkboards and textbooks? Now, they resemble tech stores with TVs, Chromebooks, and tablets everywhere. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show', Dr. Christopher Fasano dives into a pressing issue: Are schools pushing technology like dealers push drugs? Dr. Fasano explains how the brain reacts to technology similarly to how it responds to addictive substances, especially in young, impressionable minds.
He raises important questions about whether we're preparing kids for a tech-savvy world or simply immersing them too early, potentially wiring their brains for addiction. You'll hear about the latest research on how technology is affecting children's mental health and the crucial role of social and emotional learning in schools. Dr. Fasano also highlights the need for teachers to balance tech use with fostering emotional intelligence and soft skills like communication and self-awareness.
This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the digital future of our kids. Tune in to understand why we might need to rethink how much tech exposure is healthy for young minds.
