Modern screen time isn’t just harmless entertainment—it’s reshaping our kids’ brains. In this summer mashup with Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, we explore how immersive, interactive tech—especially in early childhood—alters neurological development and leads to impulsivity, poor focus, and even addiction.
Packed with clinical insights and hopeful strategies, this episode is a wake-up call for parents who want more for their kids than digital babysitters. Learn how early tech exposure chips away at curiosity, creativity, and resilience—and what you can do instead to help your child thrive in the real world.
