Inside New Zealand's New Screen Addiction Service
from Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast · host The Hits
How much screen time is too much? We chat with Francis from Touch Grass, a new New Zealand service helping young people and families navigate screen, gaming and gambling addiction. We dive into why apps are designed to keep us scrolling, the warning signs of addiction, how social media is impacting young people's sleep and mental health, and whether an outright ban is really the answer. Plus, the team compares their own screen time stats... and one of us may have a problem. If you've ever lost an hour to TikTok, doom scrolled before bed, or wondered how to help your kids build a healthier relationship with technology, this conversation is packed with practical advice and eye-opening insights.
