How does excessive screen time affect children's brains and development?
How many hours are recommended for a kid to be on screen?
What are the five ways to prevent tech tantrums and develop healthy screen habits?

Jennifer Strube Bochsler, LMFT,  is co-founder of TechWiseLittles, an online community for nature-rich and screen-light parents. As an educator and licensed family therapist, she’s worked for 20 years in public and private education helping families with healthy tech boundaries and developing kids’ attention and focus skills. As a wife and mom of two, she's passionate about the outdoors and believes most things work better once unplugged…especially us.
For the last decade, screen time has been a topic for teenagers, but parents are now raising digital natives—infants are meeting family over FaceTime and the average toddler is on tech for over 2 hours a day.
In this talk, Jennifer explains why it’s never too early (or too late) to create a healthy relationship with tech. Through the use of simple screen swaps and intentional choices, it’s possible to boost your child’s development and connect more closely, both on and off tech. Not all screens are created equal, and she’s here to explain why.

Did you ever think of taking your kid to chiropractic due to developmental delays?
So what's chiropractic has to do with the brain and child development?
How does a child's nervous system work?
How chiropractic can help your kid?

Dr. Rosen is an expert in pediatric chiropractic.  For over 40 years he has maintained a private practice and has traveled nationally and internationally teaching chiropractic techniques, pediatrics, cranial adjusting, chiropractic philosophy, and practice management.

In today's episode, we focused on the book “It’s All in the Head”, which was written by Dr.Rosen and his wife Dr. Nancy Watson. The book informs and brings awareness of the implications of growth and developmental challenges in the early stages of childhood development. Dr. Rosen and I discussed how chiropractic can empower parents with the ability to understand normal developmental milestones and to recognize problems in the earliest stages allowing them to seek appropriate care before problems become intrenched and create diagnosable di-ease processes.
For more information, check-in Dr. Rosen's website,  and connect by email.
