From Public School to Homeschool: Managing Downtime Without ScreensPulling your child from public school can feel freeing… and a little terrifying.Because here's what no one tells you:Homeschool doesn't take six hours a day.It might only take one or two.So what do you do with the rest of the time — especially when your child is used to constant structure, stimulation, and full-day schedules?In this episode, I'm talking directly to the mama transitioning from public school to homeschool — especially with little ones at home. We'll cover:Why downtime isn't dangerousHow to manage screen time without daily battlesWhy boredom is actually a skillHow to build simple afternoon rhythmsAnd how to confidently say no to constant entertainmentWe'll also talk about winter months, outdoor time, and why the quote “There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing” might need to become your new homeschool motto.If you're worried your child will just ask for TV all day… this episode will give you practical tools and a calmer mindset.Because homeschool isn't about filling every minute.It's about building capable, creative, connected kids.And sometimes that starts with letting them be bored.
The screen often becomes an addiction. It is not just the Church that makes this declaration, but the behavioral sciences also confirm this. Screens are an escape from reality in the same way alcohol and drugs pretend to offer. While we may want to frame it as a moral issue, this pitfall is so much more complex because it rewires your brain. And it targets everyone.
If your tween turns simple requests into a debate—homework, screens, bedtime, chores—you're not alone. In this episode, you'll get parenting help for tweens that's practical, calm, and usable tonight.Tweens (roughly ages 9–12) are in a developmental stage where they're practicing independence—so pushback, eye rolls, and “I KNOW!” can spike fast. The problem isn't that you're doing it wrong—the problem is that most parents don't have a simple in-the-moment structure to stop escalation before it takes over the whole evening.By the end of this episode, you'll have:A 3-step reset to stop power struggles before they blow upA few one-sentence scripts that keep your authority and protect connectionA simple When–Then + Timer structure that reduces arguingA 10-minute weekly “Reset Meeting” that lowers conflict all week (especially helpful for solo parents)✅ Try the 3-step reset tonight with the next flashpoint (screens, homework, bedtime).⭐Got screen time problems at home, get the Tech Reset Agreement here

Right On Radio goes live on Friday the 13th (March 13, 2026) with the host opening in a candid, sometimes irreverent mood — mixing jokes, cultural commentary and a deep dive into faith, free speech, and current events. The show begins with a special edition of the game segment "Word on Word," where three scripture passages are offered for listeners to weigh: Genesis 1:1, Romans 8:28, and the controversial Leviticus 20:13. The host explains why the third verse was read on air and frames the choice against the backdrop of new Canadian legislation (Bill C-9) and concerns about censorship. The episode includes a frank readout of private text exchanges with recurring guest Boyd Anderson, touching on crypto, MH370 theories, and political numerology. The host shares his reaction to Boyd's messages and reflects on trust, restoration, and authenticity when guests engage a Christian audience. Major platform news is discussed at length: Podbean's announcement to discontinue live streaming and recent regional restrictions on ad revenue for Canadian-origin podcasts. The host explains how Podbean's shift toward AI-generated content and regional changes will impact his production, revenue, and ability to livestream, and explores alternatives and the broader implications for censorship and creator independence. Political and media criticism features prominently. Clips and commentary include reactions to Tucker Carlson and Redacted, a notable quote from Brett Weinstein about an apparent “endgame” dynamic, and a critical look at Candace Owens' Bride of Charlie series — particularly the scrutiny around Erica (Frantz) Kirk's sudden rise and recent appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. The show also examines high‑profile security and justice claims: a circulated report about a $500 million Guantánamo expansion, frequent flights to Gitmo, and the suggestion that military tribunals may be underway for national‑security cases. Related theories are discussed alongside a claim about a Trump speech green screen signal and a speculative thread invoking Section 4 of the 14th Amendment as a constitutional mechanism to reset parts of U.S. debt — all framed as material the host finds intriguing but that listeners should evaluate critically. Rounding out the episode are cultural conspiracy takes — from celebrity imagery and ‘memory erasure' theories to anecdotal posts about blonde‑hair symbolism — and a preview of upcoming programming: a Sunday Bible study and Saturday night prayer on Telegram. The host closes by inviting listeners to engage, pray, and “love your God, love your family, love your neighbor,” while promising further coverage of the topics above on future shows.

In this episode, R explores a reality that sets today's children apart from every previous generation: they have never known a world without smartphones and screens. Unlike the arrival of radio, television, or even the early internet, there is no collective memory of "before" for kids born after 2012. The numbers are striking. Children aged 8 to 18 now average seven and a half hours of daily screen time. Attention spans on digital devices have plummeted from two and a half minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds today, according to research from UC Irvine. Nearly half of preschoolers already own a tablet. R examines why the common rebuttal of "people said the same thing about TV" falls short. Unlike television, smartphones are interactive, algorithmic, personalized, and socially mandatory. More than a dozen countries have now moved to ban or restrict phone use in schools, from France and Sweden to Brazil and South Korea. The episode closes with a reflection on what it means to be the last generation with a memory of life before screens, and why that perspective is something worth preserving and passing on. Key Data Points: Children ages 8-18 average 7.5 hours of daily screen time 87% of children exceed recommended screen time guidelines Attention spans on devices dropped from 2.5 minutes (2004) to 47 seconds (today) Nearly half of preschoolers own a tablet; by age 8, 1 in 4 have a phone 12+ countries have passed or are passing school smartphone bans (France, Sweden, Brazil, South Korea, Finland, Chile, Belgium, and more) Subscribe to The Healthier Tech Podcast for more episodes on living well alongside technology.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Colorado politics takes center stage in this intense hour of Rush To Reason with John Rush, Andy Peth, and Charlie Grimes. What happens when a political strategy meant to “expand the tent” actually risks splitting the vote? The conversation begins with a deep dive into Greg Lopez's decision to run as an unaffiliated candidate, raising a critical question: Will his campaign attract new voters—or simply pull support away from Republicans? The hosts explore the complex psychology of Colorado's unaffiliated voters, debating whether they truly act independently or consistently lean left on election day. Could Lopez's strategy unintentionally strengthen Democratic dominance in the state? The discussion then widens to national headlines following Tucker Carlson's controversial comments, prompting debate over foreign policy, media influence, and the shifting landscape of political commentary. Finally, the hour turns to the future of Colorado's political leadership, with speculation about whether Senator Michael Bennett could become the state's next governor—and what that might mean for policy on taxes, guns, and government power. If internal party divisions continue, could Colorado face a dramatic political shift in the next election cycle? HOUR 2 Hour 2 dives deeper into the political fallout surrounding Greg Lopez's decision to run unaffiliated in Colorado. John, Andy, and Charlie dissect the strategy and ask a blunt question: Does this campaign actually broaden the political playing field—or does it split the conservative vote and hand Democrats an even bigger advantage? The conversation explores the behavior of Colorado's rapidly growing unaffiliated voter bloc, with the hosts arguing that many of these voters consistently elect Democrats despite rejecting tax increases and government expansion at the ballot box. Could this contradiction make Lopez's path even harder? The discussion then pivots to national media controversy after Tucker Carlson's remarks about war and surrender spark outrage and debate about Israel, U.S. foreign policy, and the responsibilities of influential commentators. Finally, the hosts look ahead to the next election cycle and raise a sobering possibility: could Michael Bennett become Colorado's next governor? If so, what would that mean for policies involving taxes, guns, health care, and TABOR? As internal battles within the Colorado GOP intensify, the hour closes with a warning that the biggest political threat may come from division within the party itself. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason turns to a topic nearly everyone has an opinion on: America's tipping culture. A new survey claims that more than 80% of Americans believe tipping has spiraled out of control, and John, Andy, and Charlie dive into the growing backlash. Why are customers suddenly being asked to tip everywhere—from coffee counters to fast-food registers—and is the constant pressure pushing people past their limit? Listeners join the conversation with real-life stories about restaurant service, tipping etiquette, and the difference between earning a gratuity and expecting one. When does great service deserve a bigger reward, and when does the digital screen asking for a tip feel more like a demand than a thank-you? The discussion also explores how tipping works in other industries, including casinos, breakfast diners, and service jobs where tips traditionally mattered most. But as technology, taxes, and payment systems change, could the entire tipping model be shifting? With callers weighing in and strong opinions on both sides, the hour asks a question many Americans are now wondering: has tipping reached its breaking point?
Host Mandee Hamann welcomes ScreenStrong Ambassador Kathleen Barlow for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about preserving childhood in today's hyper-digital culture.Kathleen is a mother of six, grandmother of three, former French teacher, and a passionate advocate for phone-free schools. After leaving full-time education in 2024, she committed herself to raising awareness about the impact of digital overuse, especially inside our schools. She now serves on the leadership team of Smartphone Free Childhood US, is a member of the Screen Time Action Network and the Tech-Safe Learning Coalition, and is part of ScreenStrong's Speaking Ambassador team.In this candid conversation, Kathleen shares what she's witnessing firsthand while substitute teaching in the largest school district in Utah, including why “phone policies” that still allow access during the day simply don't work. She explains why bell-to-bell phone-free policies are essential, how constant access undermines learning, and what happens when devices remain just tempting enough to derail focus.This episode is both a wake-up call and a call to action. If you care about protecting childhood, restoring attention in classrooms, and changing the cultural norm around smartphones, this conversation will equip and inspire you. Because preserving childhood isn't old-fashioned.

Smartphones, social media, and interactive screens are something many parents today are thinking carefully about, especially when it comes to their kids. In this episode, I'm joined by Clare Morrell to talk about what the research shows regarding how these technologies affect developing brains and family life. We discuss practical ways families can approach technology differently, from trying a 30-day tech detox to delaying smartphones and modeling healthier phone habits as parents. If you're looking for thoughtful perspective and practical ideas for navigating screens in your home, this conversation will be the encouragement you need! In this episode, we cover: - Why smartphones and social media apps are intentionally designed to capture kids' time, attention, and data - The brain science behind dopamine hits and why interactive screens are uniquely addictive for children - Why even short amounts of screen time can affect kids' mood, focus, and behavior throughout the day - The surprising limitations of parental controls and why they rarely give parents real oversight - Distinguishing between passive technology (like watching a movie) and highly stimulating interactive media - How excessive screen stimulation can dysregulate a child's nervous system and mimic ADHD-like symptoms - What families experience during a 30-day digital detox and the behavioral changes many notice within weeks - Ground rules for a family tech reset, including which devices and activities are removed during detox - Why addressing our own phone habits as parents—and modeling healthier technology boundaries—plays a critical role in helping kids succeed - Alternative phone options that allow teens to communicate without introducing smartphone distractions - How some families delay smartphones until late high school or adulthood and what they observe long term - Navigating cultural pressures—from youth groups to employers—that assume every teen has a smartphone - The bigger vision behind a “tech exit”: raising kids who prioritize real-world skills, creativity, and relationships over digital consumption View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Michaeleen Doucleff, science journalist and author of Dopamine Kids, joins me to talk about what's really happening in our children's brains when it comes to screens, social media, and ultra-processed foods and why so many kids (and adults) feel stuck in cycles of constant wanting without real satisfaction. Together we explore: What dopamine actually does in the brain and why it's not simply the "pleasure chemical." How screens and ultra-processed foods are engineered to tap into our children's seeking systems. Why today's kids may be experiencing more craving and less true gratification. Why simply taking screens away often backfires and what to replace them with instead. How small, sustainable environmental shifts (not massive overhauls) can recalibrate your child's motivation system. Practical ways to reduce screen use in the evenings, during transitions, and "on the go." How involving your child in the process can increase autonomy, buy-in, and long-term success. This conversation isn't about fear, shame, or unrealistic detoxes. It's about understanding the science of motivation so we can make thoughtful changes that bring more color, pleasure, and peace back into our homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity You only build bone during deep sleep, and only if you get enough of a growth hormone spike to make it happen. As someone who has spent her career fighting osteoporosis, I had never connected those dots that clearly before. Morning light, deep sleep, and bone density are part of the same biological chain. That alone is worth the listen. This week, I am joined by Dr. John La Puma, the originator of culinary medicine. After reviewing over 2,200 studies for his new book, Indoor Epidemic, his conclusion is both sobering and actionable: we are spending 93% of our lives indoors, and our biology is paying for it in ways most of us cannot even perceive. Fatigue. Brain fog. Disrupted sleep. Accelerated aging. And we keep reaching for supplements and prescriptions when the answer is often just outside the door. What we cover: - Why 93% of our time indoors is a biological emergency quietly aging us faster from the inside out. - How 10 to 15 minutes of morning light resets your circadian clock and primes your body for deep, restorative sleep. - Why screen light within 30 minutes of bedtime drops melatonin by 20%, no matter what else you did right. - How deep sleep triggers the growth hormone spike your body needs to build bone, making it a frontline tool against osteoporosis. - Why green exercise feels 20% easier and drops cortisol by 21% when done in a place of your choice. - What digital obesity really means and why too many pixels burn out your brain the same way too much sugar burns out your metabolism. - How one hour of gardening a week can lower hemoglobin A1C by 0.5%, roughly equal to a starting dose of metformin. - What the Louisville Green Heart Study found, including a 22% drop in CRP, when greenery came to a community. - Why two to five intentional hours outdoors each week can give you up to five years of health span back. About Dr. John La Puma: Dr. John La Puma is an academic clinician, trained chef, and organic farmer recognized as the originator of culinary medicine. He runs a certified organic educational farm in Santa Barbara and led the first CME course in the country teaching physicians to use nature as medicine. Indoor Epidemic is his distillation of 2,200 studies into a practical guide for reclaiming your biology.

What happens when connection becomes optional and isolation starts to feel normal? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, we explore why more young men are quietly retreating into screens—and what that withdrawal is really trying to protect. This episode is for parents, partners, mentors, and young men who feel stuck between pressure and numbness. Guest David Savage unpacks how texting, gaming loops, fear of judgment, and fatherlessness can shape modern masculinity—and why small, relational shifts (not shame) can invite men back into real connection. About the Guest: David Savage is a father of four and the host of the podcast Wrestling with the Inner Man. He's also the author of The Savage Path: A Memoir of Modern Masculinity, focused on helping young men reconnect with purpose and faith. Episode Chapters: 00:05:53 — When isolation becomes the new normal 00:07:16 — The first signs: texting replacing real conversation 00:08:14 — What changed in public life: earbuds, avoidance, disconnection 00:10:03 — Why “screen addiction” is an incomplete explanation 00:13:17 — The pressures young men carry that make retreat feel safer 00:18:17 — How isolation shows up in dating, college, and work 00:22:06 — Small shifts that help: mentorship and intergenerational support Key Takeaways: Treat isolation as a signal, not a character flaw—ask what it's protecting. Replace “lectures” with low-pressure invitations: a walk, a task, a shared hobby. Build real-world confidence through small skill reps (conversation, meetings, eye contact). Prioritize mentorship: a steady older guide can reduce shame and confusion. Watch for “shortcut culture” (easy wins, constant stimulation) and restore healthy challenge. Create spaces where young men can be honest without feeling judged or “fixed.” How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://thesavagepath.com/ Podcast: Wrestling with the Inner Man (Apple & Spotify) Book: The Savage Path: A Memoir of Modern Masculinity Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

For many of us, this coming weekend marks the start of Daylight Saving Time, when we “spring forward” and move our clocks ahead by an hour. While the extra evening daylight can be one of the joys of the summer months, the time change has been known to disrupt our sleep. Last year we sat down with neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer, a leading expert on sleep, to talk about practical strategies for getting a better night's rest. As we approach this transition, it's the perfect time to revisit that conversation. We hope you'll add this episode to your podcast queue and give it another listen this weekend. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.

Social media is built around rewards—a digital feedback loop of likes, shares, and comments. For teenagers, whose brains are still developing, the risks associated with those rewards may not be immediately apparent.At The Walrus Talks at Home: Teens and Screens, Dr. Emma Duerden, Canada Research Chair in Neuroscience and Learning Disorders at Western University, explains how the adolescent brain's reward system develops earlier than its cognitive control centre—and what that means for how young people experience both online and offline spaces.Dr. Duerden spoke at The Walrus Talks at Home: Teens and Screens on October 10, 2024.To register for upcoming events happening online or in a city near you, and to catch up on our archive of The Walrus Talks, visit thewalrus.ca/events.And subscribe to The Walrus Events newsletter for updates and announcements, at thewalrus.ca/newsletters.

Are classroom screens really helping children learn—or quietly working against how their brains develop?In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins us to discuss his new book The Digital Delusion and what the science actually says about technology in the classroom.For years, schools have been told that more technology means better learning. But many of the ideas that built the EdTech movement—like “multimedia enhances learning,” “kids learn best on their own,” and “AI tutors can replace teachers”—were never strongly supported by evidence.Dr. Horvath explains what the data actually shows about classroom technology, including the surprising cognitive tradeoffs of 1:1 devices, why handwriting and reading on paper still outperform screens for deep learning, and why the brain struggles with multitasking and constant digital interruptions.We also explore the three biological drivers of learning—attention, empathy, and transfer—and why screens often disrupt all three.Perhaps most importantly, we discuss developmental timing. Children's brains are highly sensitive to environmental input, and heavy exposure to screen-based stimulation can shape reward pathways, condition dopamine systems, and increase vulnerability to compulsive screen use later in life.Is it really possible to “moderate” highly stimulating screen activities? And what should parents do in a world where technology seems unavoidable?If you've ever wondered whether all this classroom technology is truly helping your child—or quietly making learning harder—this conversation will give you the science, the context, and the reassurance parents need.Because the goal of education isn't just to use technology. It's to help children learn deeply and prepare for life beyond the screen.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Welcome to Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. In this episode, I sit down with Angela MacEwen, a lifelong child development expert and former site supervisor at Friends of St. Francis — a distinguished San Francisco preschool specializing in the care of traumatized children. Angela made headlines during the COVID-19 pandemic when her plan for safely reopening childcare for essential workers became the citywide model. Today, she's bringing an even more urgent message: after decades of working with young children, she has never seen anything like what's happening right now. For the first time in her career, not a single one of the 38 children at her school can summarize a story that has just been read to them. Not one.Angela and I explore what twenty years of unchecked screen exposure has done to children's developing brains — from the erosion of the critical cognitive "pause," to the collapse of both auditory and visual processing, to kids who can decode words on a page but have no idea what those words mean. We also discuss why this generation's problems are showing up even in children born after the pandemic, what the looming rise of AI means for kids who are already struggling, and the surprising solution some schools are already using to fight back. If you are a parent, educator, or anyone who cares about the next generation, this conversation is one you simply cannot afford to miss.In this episode, you will learn:(01:53) Why screens can't replace real-world sensory input for developing brains (03:35) How the disappearance of the cognitive "pause" set the stage for today's focus crisis (08:03) The "Goldilocks test" — and why zero out of 38 preschoolers could pass it (12:34) Why both auditory and visual processing are now being affected (13:08) What toddlers mimicking phone behavior tells us about screen culture (16:55) Why kids are learning to read words without understanding them (18:51) What embodied intelligence is and why screens can't replicate it (22:08) Why the solution isn't eliminating technology — it's protecting kids until their brains are readyLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

Mitte der 90er war das Point-and-Click-Adventure eigentlich auf seinem Höhepunkt und trotzdem zugleich schon auf dem Weg in die Nische. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist Toonstruck. Es erscheint 1996, kostet ein kleines Vermögen in der Produktion und kombiniert handgezeichnete Cartoons mit einem echten Menschen: Christopher Lloyd, vielen als Doc Brown aus Back to the Future bekannt, steht buchstäblich mitten in dieser Zeichentrickwelt und spielt den ausgelaugten Animator Drew Blanc, der an zu vielen „Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun“-Hasen fast zerbricht.Im Spiel wird Drew in seine eigene Schöpfung hineingezogen und landet in Cutopia, einem Reich aus Zuckerguss, das gerade von Count Nefarious und seiner Malevolator-Maschine in eine verzerrte Cartoon-Hölle verwandelt wird. Gemeinsam mit Sidekick Flux Wildly stolpert er durch quietschbunte Screens, löst klassische Inventar-Rätsel und trifft auf eine beeindruckende Riege an Sprecher*innen. Von Dan Castellaneta bis Tim Curry, den viele von euch als Killer-Clown ES oder aus Command & Conquer kennen (ja, das ist der Typ mit der dreckigsten Lache ever :D). Das Ergebnis wirkt heute wie eine Mischung aus Roger Rabbit, LucasArts-Humor und einem leicht zynischen Blick auf die Animationsindustrie: technisch ambitioniert, stellenweise herrlich albern, mit gelegentlicher „Moon-Logic“ im Puzzle-Design.In unserer Retrospektive sprechen Wolfram und Micha darüber, warum Toonstruck trotz Star-Besetzung und aufwendiger Produktion kommerziell scheiterte, wie sehr der Humor gealtert ist und wieso die Fanhoffnung auf mehr als nur einen simplen Re-Release bis heute nicht ganz tot ist. Außerdem geht es um Christopher Lloyds Performance, Flux als vielleicht heimlichen Star des Spiels und die Frage, ob Toonstruck 2026 eher als kuriose Fußnote oder als unterschätzter Genre-Höhepunkt dasteht.

How do kids, parents and shoppers really discover brands today, and what does that mean for marketers trying to keep up? In this episode, Teresa sits down with Belinda Gruebner, former CMO of Moose Toys, to explore how the toy industry has evolved from catalogue-driven retail to creator-led discovery and always-on storytelling. Belinda shares lessons from scaling a global brand portfolio, building digital and marketing capability across markets, and rethinking packaging, content and owned assets as part of the omni-channel experience. The conversation also tackles the impact of Australia's new social media restrictions for under-16s, the growing importance of community and real-world connection, and the ethical questions brands need to confront as AI, data and digital acceleration continue to reshape the digital shelf.

A new Institute for Family Studies report (surveying nearly 24,000 parents and more than 40,000 children, including 2,600 teens) argues that modern culture quietly rewards one kind of parenting: keeping kids quiet, often by putting them in front of a screen. In this conversation, Wayne and Dr. Kathy talk honestly about the moment we all recognize, when a baby cries in a restaurant, or a kid is "being a kid" in public, and why our irritation may reveal a deeper cultural drift toward convenience over community. Then they pivot to hope: why real world practice (restaurants, church, airports, sidewalks, teams, trees, and yes, even scraped knees) is one of God's most practical tools for building resilient kids.

The tide is turning. For years, parents have worried about what social media is doing to their children. Now the courts — and entire countries — are stepping in. In this episode, we unpack the landmark lawsuits against Meta and YouTube, accusing them of deliberately designing addictive platforms for kids. Could this finally be the moment Big Tech is held accountable? Plus, we explore how Australia’s minimum age social media legislation is sparking global momentum — with France, Indonesia, Spain, Netherlands and even the United States watching closely. Is this the beginning of real change — or a legal mountain too high to climb? KEY POINTS Multiple U.S. lawsuits claim Big Tech intentionally designed platforms to addict children. Plaintiffs argue engagement was prioritised over wellbeing. The burden of proof will be enormous — especially around “addiction” and mental health causation.Section 230 in the U.S. could shield platforms from liability. Australia’s minimum age legislation is triggering global ripple effects. When “everyone knows that everyone knows,” social change accelerates. Screens displace sleep, movement, connection, and real-world development. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Life happens analog, not digital — and parenting should too.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Ten Things Every Parent Needs to Know – Dr Justin Coulson When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows – Steven Pinker The Anxious Generation – Jonathan Haidt Parenting ADHD [The Course] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Delay social media as long as possible. Keep devices out of bedrooms overnight. Prioritise sleep, movement, and face-to-face connection. Have open conversations about persuasive design and algorithms. Remember: you are not powerless — your home rules matter more than any platform. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
