What happens when screens become the go-to tool for calming big emotions?

In this episode of Voices of Compassion, CHC post doctoral fellows, Sydney Hernandez, PhD, and Elsa Cincione, PsyD, explore how technology impacts emotional regulation in young children. They explain what the research says about the latest screen time guidelines and what it means for families.

Listen in to hear about the development of emotional regulation in young children, practical guard rails for healthy use of devices and why co-regulation matters more than quick fixes. This conversation offers clarity, compassion, and realistic strategies for families navigating screen time in early childhood.
