Listen Later

Tired of fighting over screen time with your teen?  Then this episode is for you. Dr. Cam sits down with digital wellness expert Nicole Rawson, founder of Screen Time Clinic, to tackle one of today’s biggest parenting challenges: teen screen addiction. 

Nicole shares why traditional limits don’t work anymore, how to spot warning signs early, and what a real digital detox looks like (hint: it’s not just unplugging the Wi-Fi). 

If you're ready to take back control, reconnect with your teen, and restore peace in your home, don’t miss this conversation.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
  • How excessive screen time rewires your teen’s brain and behavior
  • Why some teens are more sensitive to screen addiction than others
  • What actually works when a teen is addicted to their phone or gaming
  • How to do a digital detox with your teen instead of against them
  •  

    5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS

    1. Complete digital detox is more effective than moderation for addicted teens
    2. Structure and planning are essential for a successful screen break
    3. Withdrawal is a red flag—not just “normal teen stuff”
    4. Parents must model healthy digital habits to help their teens reset
    5. Replacing screen time with meaningful, engaging activities is key to long-term success
