He joins us to discuss the TOUGHEST of the four challenges — weaning from screens:  His story of being addicted to video games and dealing with insecurities, resorting to technology as a coping mechanism. How parents can be more intentional about the use of technology in their households by setting clear boundaries and guidelines, as well as defining their family values. The science behind the screens, including the chemical response technology gives us and how to replace that with more positive habits that lead to more connectedness and happiness.
