015: Are Screens Going to Melt My Kid’s Brain?
1 hour, 2 minutes
Growing up, we had a fairly neutral relationship with screens. It was regulated like almost anything else we used to pass the time as kids. With today's technological advances and the increasing usefulness of screens, combined with the information we consume about the negative effects of screens on child development, it's easy to be very hard-lined about the use of screens. Maybe you're a parent who allows your child to use screens all the time.
Ultimately, this conversation is not about screens, but about the values through which we approach the use of screens. Ben and Rachel go to the deeper issue and talk about how we can help our children develop a healthy relationship with the ever growing landscape of screen technology and avoid the struggle of negotiating screen time altogether.
