In Part 1, Andrew Hempe explained what he gained from growing up without smartphones or video games. In Part 2, he answers the questions parents and teens ask him most.Andrew starts by admitting the obvious: he did miss out on some things—easy access to pornography, the anxiety and depression tied to social media, and screen addiction itself. His point: not all missing out is bad, and there's a real difference between protecting a child from permanent harm and sheltering them from healthy difficulty.He also walks through what happened when he finally got a smartphone after high school, on his own terms, as a tool rather than a "toy." No social media. No gaming console. Because the habits, hobbies, and delayed-gratification mindset were already in place, the phone never became a crutch.From there, Andrew tackles the arguments parents hear constantly:Why can't my kid just have screens and sports, music, and friends? Won't my child resent me forever? Don't confuse intelligence with maturity, and don't confuse access with preparation.He closes with a direct message to teens listening—that the friendships worth keeping don't depend on a screen—and a reminder to parents that conversations alone won't solve a screen problem; only removing access will.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

What if growing up without a smartphone or video games didn't mean missing out—but actually meant gaining more?In this episode of the ScreenStrong Families Podcast, 22-year-old Andrew Hempe shares what it was really like to grow up without the addictive screens that are now considered a normal part of childhood. After seeing his older brother struggle with severe gaming addiction, Andrew's parents made the difficult decision to raise their younger children without smartphones or video games.Andrew explains why he believes he didn't miss out at all. Instead, he gained four things that have shaped who he is today: strong family relationships, the ability to be comfortable with boredom and discomfort, real-world skills, and deep friendships.He shares personal stories about family dinners, sports, music, school, and friendships—and explains how having more time away from screens gave him the opportunity to develop communication skills, creativity, confidence, perseverance, and meaningful relationships.Andrew also addresses one of parents' biggest fears: What if my child is the only one without a smartphone or video games? Will they be left out? Will they have friends?His experience offers a powerful perspective for parents who wonder whether protecting childhood from addictive technology means their kids will miss out. Andrew's answer is clear: there is so much more to gain when screens aren't taking up the space meant for childhood.This is Part 1 of a two-part series. In Part 2, Andrew answers the questions he hears most often about growing up this way—including what he actually missed out on, what happened when he eventually got a smartphone, and why some things are worth missing.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Send us Fan MailAre we addicted to being busy? In a culture that often equates productivity with success, slowing down can feel uncomfortable or even unproductive.In this episode of Wedgwood's Coffee Break Conversation, host Hillary Kirkendall is joined by Jennifer Tornga, a doctoral-level occupational therapist who oversees Wedgwood's occupational therapy and recreation therapy teams, and Adrienne Jamail, a discovery coach, breathwork facilitator, and speaker.Together, they explore why so many of us feel the need to constantly do, achieve, and stay busy, and how that pace can impact our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.From burnout and nervous system overload to work-life harmony, intentional rest, and self-awareness, Jen and Adrienne share practical ways to recognize when you're doing too much and give yourself permission to slow down.They also discuss simple practices like creating a "joy list," finding small "micro sanctuaries" throughout your day, and taking an intentional one-minute pause to reset and reconnect with yourself.Most importantly, this conversation reminds us that rest isn't laziness, and our worth isn't measured by how much we accomplish. Sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need to move forward in a healthier direction.Whether you're feeling burned out, struggling to slow down, or simply looking for a healthier rhythm in your everyday life, this conversation offers practical encouragement to pause, reset, and make more room for what brings you joy.LINKS & INFO:Adrienne Jamail's InstagramSupport the showDon't forget to subscribe to stay up-to-date on the latest episodes!

How much technology should kids really be using at school? In this episode of the ScreenStrong Families Podcast, Melanie Hempe and Dr. Stacey explore the growing use of screens, Chromebooks, tablets, educational apps, and AI in schools—and ask the question every parent should be asking: Is technology actually helping our children learn?You'll learn why the issue isn't simply “technology is good or bad,” but what technology is replacing. Are screens replacing books, handwriting, play, movement, teacher interaction, conversation, or creative problem-solving?Melanie and Dr. Stacey discuss:Healthy screen time and technology use at schoolWhy teacher interaction and relationships matterTechnology use and young childrenWhat kids need to learn before AI does the work for themHow parents can ask schools better questions about classroom technologyPractical ways to create a more human-centered learning environmentTechnology is a tool—not the foundation. The child is the foundation.If you're concerned about kids and screens, technology in schools, digital learning, or AI in education, this episode will give you practical insights and questions you can take to your child's school.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

There is SO much health and wellness advice online—and a lot of it sounds convincing because it uses words like “hormones,” “detox,” and “inflammation.” But just because something is trending doesn't mean it's actually necessary for your health.In this episode, I'm breaking down some of the biggest wellness myths I wish women would stop feeling pressured to follow. From going gluten- and dairy-free to detox teas, seed cycling, hormone-balancing supplements, food sensitivity tests, low-carb diets, intermittent fasting, and the idea that “normal” labs automatically mean you're healthy.We'll talk about what actually deserves your attention, where some of these trends came from, and why your health should be personalized instead of dictated by the latest TikTok trend.In this episode, we'll cover:Whether everyone really needs to be gluten- or dairy-freeWhy detox teas aren't the answerThe truth about seed cycling and “hormone-balancing” foodsWhy I don't believe everyone needs hormone-balancing supplementsWhat you should know about food sensitivity testingWhether women actually need to avoid carbohydratesThe pros and cons of intermittent fastingWhy “normal” blood work doesn't always tell the whole storyThe biggest wellness myth of all: that you have to be perfect to be healthyMy goal isn't to tell you that every wellness trend is completely useless. It's to help you understand when something actually makes sense for you—and when you're just spending money, restricting your diet, or creating unnecessary stress.Because wellness should make your life better, not smaller.
Originally aired: March, 2022Melanie welcomes back Dr. Richard Freed, author of Wired Child and a practicing Clinical Psychologist and supervisor studying the effects of technology on children. He is on the advisory board of ScreenStrong and is a contributor to many well-respected publications. A link to Dr. Freed's article, The Tech Industry's War on Kids, is included in the show notes. Melanie asks Richard to provide our listeners his perspective on frequently asked questions from parents related to screens in the classroom, how to modify and/or request help with reducing screen use for homework, how to request a support letter for an in-school accommodation for your child, and one of the most difficult questions to answer, what to say to your child that is struggling with addictive behaviors. Their discussion addresses how technology has changed the school experience and learning opportunities for our children, which have significantly impacted children's development of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which encompasses the growth of personal identity, communication, empathy, and healthy connections with parents, teachers, and coaches within the overall community setting. Lastly, Melanie and Richard provide an overview of tips pulled from their conversation today with an emphasis on strong parenting, reducing screens in schools, and re-establishing the strong guidance and love our kids need from us from elementary through high school and beyond.
