In this empowering episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy is joined by Dr. Susie Davies, a former clinical psychologist and trauma-informed parenting coach, for a timely and practical conversation about screen addiction and how it affects our kids’ mental health, behavior, and development.


If you’ve felt the tug-of-war over tablets, struggled to set consistent screen limits, or worried about your child’s emotional regulation after too much tech time, this episode is for you.


Dr. Susie shares five powerful strategies to help parents empower their kids to unplug—without shame, punishment, or power struggles. This isn’t about guilt or fear—it’s about healing the deeper nervous system needs that often fuel screen dependence, and building long-term habits that nurture connection, resilience, and self-regulation.


Whether you’re raising a toddler or a teen, this episode will leave you feeling more confident and equipped to create a tech-healthy home—starting today!
