62. Screen Time, Play Time, and Dad Guilt

I’ve wanted to make this type of episode for a while now. I hope you like it. Part of my job as an academic pediatrician is to stay up to date with the latest research being done and published in the biggest research journals. Some of those articles are related to parenting - and are worthy of discussion and analysis in an episode. Today, we do our first dive into Hot Off the Presses Parenting Research with an article from JAMA Pediatrics called “Outdoor Play as a Mitigating Factor in the Association Between Screen Time for Young Children and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes” which explores the relationship between screens time, outdoor play, and development!!We discuss what the research team concluded from their study the Dad Guilt (or Mom Guilt) at the heart of the article and what I think you should know as you parent your kids today. The full article can be found here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2800738Let me know if you like this style of episode and I’ll do more like this in the future!! Have a question about this or other topics?
