Phones. Screens. Social media. They've become a normal part of everyday life, but what are they doing to our kids' brains?

In this episode, we dive deep into the science and psychology behind technology's impact on children and teens. From the constant pings of notifications to the endless scroll of social media, today's kids are growing up in a digital world that's rewiring how they think, feel, and connect.

We talk about why peer influence can sometimes outweigh a parent's voice, how screen time affects brain development, and the growing rise in anxiety and depression that is linked to social media use.

But this conversation isn't all doom and gloom — we also share practical, hopeful strategies for families. You'll hear about ways to set healthy tech boundaries, encourage independent play, and why we prioritize extracurricular activities.

If you've ever wondered how much screen time is too much, or how to help your child build real-world connection in an online world, this episode is for you.

There's still so much we can do to help our kids thrive. Delay technology as long as you can and give yourself grace!
