Are screens really to blame for anxiety in children?

from Weekends with Joanne Vrakas · host CJAD 800

For years, screens have been blamed for rising rates of childhood anxiety, but new research suggests the root causes may run much deeper. Child psychologist Dr. Tamara Siles joins Joanne to discuss the findings and explains why screens may be more like “gasoline on an existing fire” rather than the match that started it. Child psychologist Dr. Tamara Soles can be heard every Saturday at 8:40 a.m. on Weekends with Joanne Vrakas to discuss issues affecting children's mental health.
