Is Screen Time the Real Culprit Behind Anxiety in Your Home?
from Thrive Like A Parent · host Dr. Brooke Weinstein
EP:91 Today on the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast I’d like to discuss something that has really been on the forefront of my mind lately… We MUST set boundaries and provide a balance between screen time and outdoor activities, while also modeling healthy emotional expression and prioritizing our own mental well-being to our children. Excessive screen time can lead to increased anxiety and decreased ability to explore and learn from mistakes. Social media has been a major contributing factor to cyberbullying, negative self-comparison, anxiety and overall mental health in the next generation. By prioritizing mental health in the digital age, I believe children will be better equipped to handle the challenges of growing up in a world filled with technology. So this weekend.. My challenge to you… GO EXPLORE.. Take in nature in whatever way feels best and right for you!
