✨ PODCAST DESCRIPTION: in this episode of the #getunstuck podcast, we're diving into the big question: is facebook officially dead? with so many options today — from private group chats to patreon-style paywalls, discord, youtube communities, even groupme apps — where are you really spending your screen time? are u hanging in meaningful circles, or just numbing out with netflix and auto-scroll? let's talk truth, connection, and what this screen-saturated world is doing to our real-life relationships. i've got the latest research, some hard-hitting questions, and a story u'll feel in your bones.

I was recently walking through a local retail establishment and passed a mother pushing her young son in a shopping cart. The boy, who I guessed to be either two or three years old, was not sitting up in the normal spot where kids sit, but down in the cart with a small amount of merchandise. As we passed, the little boy, sitting cross-legged, never looked up. Instead his eyes were focused on an ipad as he was continuously swiping at the screen with his fingers. A few seconds later, he loudly yelled, “Oh my!” And then a few seconds after that, he let out a loud “Kill him!” I have no idea what he was playing, but his focus never left the screen. What I do know is that this young and impressionable boy was getting an education of some sort that was not only shaping him now, but most likely for the rest of his life. It's reasonable to assume that if this continued, he would soon be addicted to technology. Parents, exercise wisdom and protect your kids from digital harm.

Fifteen-year-old and co-founder of Lookupp, Atiksh Bhan, remembers when life was better. He and his friends would spend their afternoons biking, exploring the woods and playing games outside. But then, smartphones came along. =Instead of adventures, they'd spend their time sitting around, scrolling through TikTok. "We'd be huddled around one phone, looking over someone's shoulder. It just wasn't fun anymore," Atiksh says. And even though they were ‘connected' through technology, he felt lonelier than ever. Atiksh and his brother only had basic flip phones, but they started to notice a shift in their peers who had smartphones: increasing anxiety, depression and eating disorders. Adding phones to typical teen dilemmas, like breakups and friend drama, was like throwing gasoline on a fire. Determined to make a change, they created LookUpp – an app that rewards you for staying off your phone when you're with people you care about. The longer your screen is off, the more points you earn. And they're teaming up with parents, communities, and local businesses to translate points into real-life rewards. Tune in to hear directly from Atiksh, a teen navigating the digital age, as he and Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death talk about rebuilding connections, before it's too late.

Parenting in today's world can be difficult and exhausting. One of the go-to's for parents seeking rest and reprieve is to redirect our kids away from making demands on us and our time by putting a screen in their hands or setting them down in front of the TV. Because Christian parents are to live counter-cultural lives where we focus on raising our kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, allowing the cultural narrative to entertain and educate our kids is not a good choice. In addition, experts tell us that too much screen time delays and even derails healthy cognitive development, feeds anxiety and depression, and disrupts sleep. A recent Harris Poll has found that sixty percent of parents admit to allowing their children to use technology before they could read. Seeing what this has done too their kids, seventy-three percent believe their kids need a technology detox. Parents, limit screen time, monitor their use, and don't put screens into the hands of young children.

Many young adults enter their post-high school years without the executive functioning skills needed to thrive. This is often because the people supporting them underestimate the amount of support they're getting, and there's no plan in place to fade that prompting. When young adults enter college, they have to manage sleep hygiene, long-term projects, and manage screen time. This is why I talk so much about using multiple service delivery models when supporting executive functioning; whether it be in the schools or in private practice; because many essential life skills cannot be taught without the right environmental scaffolding in place.  That's why I invited Michael McLeod from GrowNOW therapy to talk about why he uses a combination of direct sessions, summer camps with community-based activities, parent coaching, and educator training. Michael partnered and worked with The Focus Foundation in 2015, learning from incredible doctors, neuropsychologists, and various specialists – gaining in-depth training and experience with ADHD and Executive Function research and development. He currently specializes in ADHD, Executive Functioning, Social Executive Functioning, and Parent Coaching. From his experiences as an Executive Function Specialist, Michael developed a distinct model of Internal Skills Coaching to enhance these skills. Michael is a Keynote Speaker and has presented nationwide and internationally, training families and professionals on his unique GrowNOW Treatment Model for fostering Executive Functions & Resiliency.In this conversation, we discuss:✅Do graduate programs prepare clinicians to work on executive functioning out in the field?✅Frontloading vs. traditional social skills sessions.✅Why helping families set boundaries around screen time is an essential part of the services clinicians offer.✅Defining failure to launch and what it looks like in young adults.✅Situational awareness and its impact on safety for college students. You can connect with Michael at:GrowNOWADHD.com, here: http://grownowadhd.com/GrowNOW Instagram, here: http://instagram.com/GrowNOWADHDGrowNOW School Trainings, here: https://www.grownowadhd.com/training/ADHD Parenting Podcast, here: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xATyVhNZU3abIejNIggvDListen to my previous conversations with Michael here:EP 008: Building accountability and motivation in kids with ADHD (with Mike McLeod), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-008-building-accountability-and-motivation-in-kids-with-adhd-with-mike-mcleod/EP 009: Time management and device use boundaries in kids with ADHD (with Mike McLeod), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-009-time-management-and-device-use-boundaries-for-kids-with-adhd-with-mike-mcleod/The following previous episodes were mentioned in this episode:EP 122: Executive functioning for college students: Beyond checklists and planners (with Jill Fahy), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-122-executive-functioning-for-college-students-beyond-checklists-and-planners-with-jill-fahy/EP 193: Using Distance Learning to Increase Access and Opportunity (with Seth Fleischauer), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-193-using-distance-learning-to-increase-access-and-opportunity-with-seth-fleischauer/In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers develop a strategic plan for putting executive functioning support in place in collaboration with their school teams.

Twenty-one DOGE staffers resigned this week, citing the agency's meddling in the federal government. Meanwhile, top DOGE Elon Musk was brandishing a chainsaw onstage at CPAC. And closer to home, a new armed-driver app purports to be “Uber with guns.” Jon and Max sift through it all, translate Musk's claim that, “I am become meme,” and debate whether he intends to train Grok on the private data he's stolen. But it's not all bad news! AI is warpspeeding disease research, and has even discovered an antibiotic that seems to be effective against drug-resistant bacteria. And LA Public schools are doing their own version of the Offline Challenge, with a new cellphone ban being rolled out in classrooms across the district.

Dr. Richard Cytowic, the author and professor at George Washington University, joins the Exchange.

New research shows that simple parent-led interventions can reduce gaming disorder and smartphone addiction in children by up to 60% in just six weeks. In this episode, clinician and researcher Dr Brad Marshall breaks down exactly what parents can do to help their children develop healthier relationships with technology, backed by groundbreaking new research from Macquarie University. Key Points: About 10% of Australian teens are experiencing problematic screen use and addiction. A study of 689 families revealed significant improvements in screen addiction through parent-led interventions. 60% of children with gaming disorder showed improvement after 6 weeks. 32% of children with smartphone addiction showed improvement after 6 weeks. Five key strategies were identified, with WiFi management being among the most effective. Quote of the Episode: "Parents can have a huge impact on how their kids do stuff online... even without any direct therapeutic intervention." Key Insights: Hardware-level controls are more effective than software-based parental controls. Sometimes parents need to implement boundaries before having conversations. Simple WiFi management strategies can be more effective than complex behavioural agreements. Managing mobile data plans is a crucial but longer-term intervention strategy. Parent-only interventions can be highly effective without direct child involvement. Personal Stories Shared: Brad shared his experience testifying before the Senate regarding social media age restrictions. Justin shared his perspective on occasionally needing to make executive decisions as a parent despite preferring collaborative approaches. Resources Mentioned: The Tech Diet for Your Child and Teen book Mesh router systems for WiFi management G-Mee phones (Australian smartphone for kids) Brad Marshall's website (The Unplugged Psychologist) Macquarie University research study on gaming disorder and smartphone addiction Action Steps for Parents: Implement home WiFi limits through mesh router systems. Place limits on mobile phone data plans Set clear boundaries around WiFi at bedtime. Consider hardware-level solutions rather than relying on software controls. Start with structural changes (WiFi/data management) before focusing on behavioural agreements. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Dr Jenny Brockis, lifestyle medicine physician and author of "The Natural Advantage", to explore how nature could be our most powerful yet underutilised medicine in today's screen-dominated world. Through fascinating research and personal experience, Dr Brockis reveals how our disconnection from nature is contributing to rising rates of anxiety, burnout, and chronic disease—and more importantly, how reconnecting with the natural world can dramatically improve our physical and mental wellbeing. From the surprising science of 'earthing' to practical strategies for both rural and city dwellers, this conversation is packed with evidence-based insights on leveraging nature's healing power. Whether you're battling screen addiction, struggling with anxiety, or simply seeking to optimise your health, this episode offers a compelling roadmap for using nature as your daily medicine. Key Topics: Lifestyle Medicine and Healthcare System Critique: From reactive treatment to preventive lifestyle medicine The Therapeutic Relationship in Healthcare: The vital role of strong patient-doctor relationships in effective healthcare Nature's Impact on Mental Health: Nature’s therapeutic benefits for mental wellbeing Digital Wellness and Screen Addiction: detrimental impact of screen addiction on modern life Urban Planning and Nature Integration: importance of integrating natural spaces in urban environments Physiological Benefits of Nature Exposure: scientifically proven health benefits of connecting with nature Practical Nature Integration Strategies: Techniques for incorporating nature into daily routines Professional Applications and Resources: Development opportunities in nature-based wellness Key Takeaways: Combat screen addiction by implementing regular "nature breaks" throughout your day - step outside for even brief periods to reset your attention and improve cognitive function. Engage all your senses when in nature by consciously noticing sights, sounds, smells, and textures, rather than just passively being present outdoors. Make direct physical contact with natural surfaces (like walking barefoot on grass or sand) for at least 30 minutes daily to benefit from grounding's effects on inflammation and stress reduction. Get adequate sunlight exposure in the morning hours to optimize vitamin D production and regulate your circadian rhythm, while being mindful of safe sun practices. Create dedicated screen-free times and spaces in your daily routine, particularly during nature exposure and social interactions, to enhance mindfulness and human connection. Bring nature indoors through houseplants, natural materials, and nature sounds/views when outdoor access is limited, especially for city dwellers. Start each morning with an intentional nature connection ritual - even if it's just sitting by a window with your morning beverage and observing the natural world for a few minutes.

Is Australia's social media ban the right way to go? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says it is time to reinstate the play-based childhood to bring our kids back from life online and into the real world, away from their increasing obsession with devices. It's a fact of modern life that children who are given smart phones are able to access pornography, real images of violence and harmful comparisons with their friends and also influencers around the world.Social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt argues that as the social norms have changed, and younger and younger children have been allowed access to their own devices, their participation in the real world has suffered.Jonathan's theory is that in order to combat the addicting influence of technology on our kids' lives, families and society must encourage and allow children to enjoy free play, independence and responsibility in the real world.He says, rather than despairing at the current state of childhood, we have the power to give children fun, excitement and a passport to the real world.This episode of Conversations touches on Australia's social media ban, screen addiction, smart phones, online gaming, social media, mental health, teens, childhood, free play, children's independence, risk, outdoor play, child development, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, gaming, and Jonathan Haidt.

Michoel Moshel is a PhD researcher of Clinical Neuropsychology at Macquarie University. Michoel's current research is on the topic of disordered and problematic screen usage. This episode has a discussion of the problems of screen addiction and some interventions and related policy, along with some of Michoel's vocational story.

In our final Best Of Summer Series episode, your host, Shannon Urquiola dives into a critical issue that many parents and caregivers face: the impact of electronics on our kids and the risk of screen addiction. This topic is especially relevant for families raising children on the autism spectrum, who can be particularly vulnerable to the negative aspects of excessive screen time. Have you ever questioned the effects of social media, YouTube videos, and video games on your child's overall well-being? Do you find yourself encouraging them to go outside or read, only to see them choose screens over everything else? You're not alone. Shannon explores these common concerns, emphasizing that while electronics and the internet can be valuable tools, offering learning opportunities, connections, and entertainment, they also come with significant downsides. In this episode, Shannon discusses the pros and cons of screen time, highlighting how some families have discovered that the benefits of unplugging far outweigh the challenges. She addresses the issue of children, especially those on the spectrum, getting lost in a never-ending rabbit hole of screen time, missing out on real-life experiences. Shannon shares practical strategies and tools to help parents manage their children's screen time effectively, creating a healthier balance. This episode serves as a guide to understanding the impact of electronics on kids and offers actionable advice for fostering better habits.

When we think about teenagers and addiction, it is important that we engage in preventive efforts in order to keep kids from getting addicted. This holds true when it comes to device and screen addiction, which will become more of an issue in years to come. Experts are telling us that if we would take time to set limits and borders now, we would prevent addiction and these marks of screen addiction: feeling uneasy or grumpy when you cannot use your device. Avoiding breaks while spending long periods of time on your device. Ignoring other activities including reading and going outside. Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Physical issues including eye, back, and neck strain. Gaining weight due to inactivity. And finally, having difficulty conversing and interacting socially. Parents, life in our smartphone world is a life primed for addiction, that is, unless we intervene now keeping phones away from young children, and limiting screentime for older kids.

Most holistic-minded moms already know screen time is objectively bad and try to limit it or only rely on it as a brief, last-resort. But, just how bad is it really? Melanie Hempe, mother of four and the founder of the non-profit ScreenStrong, keeps it 100% real with us when divulging the truth about the way screen time is robbing our children of a healthy and happy childhood.What effects interacting with a device whether it's a tablet, iPhone, or television have on a child's developing brain, and why should parents think twice about when and whether to introduce screens to their children?Is there such a thing as “good” types of screen time or screens in moderation?What about low-stimulating shows for short periods of time?We of course also had to discuss the alarming, modern phenomenon of children glued to iPads while out to restaurants. In our tech-obsessed society, is it even realistic to expect parents to forego screens for their children such as refusing to give children smartphones for the first 18 years of life?Follow ScreenStrong on instagramSubscribe to the ScreenStrong podcastSubscribe to the ScreenStrong SubstackFind resources, courses, and more on the ScreenStrong websiteScreen AssessmentGet the ScreenStrong Summer Fun Bundle DONATE (Thank you!!

6/14/24 6am CT Hour - Michael O'Rourke/ Dr. Tim Millea/ Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg   John, Glen and Sarah chat Supreme Court decision on abortion pill, Pope Francis at the G7 Summit, sports update on basketball and hockey, plus an NEC Pilgrimage update. Michael shares how fathers should take stock of how they interact with their kids and focus on building them up more than burning holes. Dr. Tim shares the data on scree addiction and the trouble it can cause for teens and kids. Bishop Mueggenborg reflects on the mustard seed and what they would have meant to the people of that time.

Advances in neurological science point to the amazing complexity of our God-made brains, and inform us about how best we can parent our kids in ways that lead to their healthy growth and development. Recently, the American Psychological Association released a report which reminds us that starting around age ten and continuing until the mid-twenties, the human brain is hypersensitive to social feedback and stimuli. You and I see evidence of this in how our kids become invested and even obsessed with engaging in behaviors, both off line and online, that will help them get feedback, praise, and attention from their peers. Brain science is now telling us that getting likes and gaining followers on social media actually activates neural regions that trigger repetitive behavior, which can then lead to repetitive use of social media, and even addiction. Let's raise up Godly children whose lives are directed at habitually bringing glory to God, rather than seeking the praise of their peers. 

If your child is spending too much time in front of his cellphone or computer, it's important that you help him find a balance between screen time and social interaction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Salt Cathedral is a New York via Bogota Colombia duo. Their song, "Terminal Woes," is the most played song on KEXP so far this year. “This song came from that upsetness of thinking, we're not taking care of our planet. As a woman in my 30s, thinking should I have children? Should we bring more children into this world because it's a difficult world and it's warming up and there's no climate justice,” says Salt Cathedral's Juliana Ronderos. Ronderos, Salt Cathedral's Nicolas Losada, and KEXP's Emily Fox talk more about the future of children in the screen addiction era and how these themes are addressed in Salt Cathedral's latest album, 'Before It's Gone.'Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More and more attention is being paid to the potential dangers kids face when they spend too much time in front of screens. Setting aside the veracity of those claims, it does seem that there are more people suggesting problems than there are suggesting solutions. My guest for this episode, Michael Jacobus, is an exception. Michael has applied his considerable experience as a child development specialist and seasoned youth camp leader to the creation of Reset Summer Camp, a summer residential program in which participants, “detox from their screen addiction and learn how to self-regulate, as they participate in individual and group therapy.” Even if the kids in your life are unable to attend Reset Summer Camp, you will learn a lot from Michael's insights on helping young people develop healthier habits and, ultimately, lead healthier lives. More information about Michael and Reset Summer Camp is at talkingaboutkids.com.
