Here is a quick preview of Dr. Victoria Dunckley’s talk from the Positive Parenting Conference 2018.

In this talk titled A Look at the Latest Research on Screen-time and How to Protect Your Kids, Dr. Dunckley and I discuss:

• What the latest research shows about the impact of Screen-Time on children’s brain and behavior
• How some of the negative impact of screen-time often looks like symptoms of other disorders and gets misdiagnosed
• What we can do to protect our kids from screen-time issues

Screens are everywhere and our generation is the first generation of parents who have to deal with raising kids surrounded by this highly addictive substance. It is not clear how this all will play out in the long run, but this talk is definitely an eye-opener. Dr. Dunckley is named one of “America’s Top Psychiatrists,” and has been researching this for a long time, so what she has to say is definitely worth listening to. Don’t miss this talk!

• A few of the “un-entitlers” that Amy discusses in her book for breaking kids out of an entitlement attitude, or preventing them from getting one in the first place
