When you feel stressed about getting your child off a screen

If you are about to end a period of screentime and dreading the inevitable meltdown, take 6.5 minutes to listen to this before you do. I promise you it’ll be worth it.

We hear about the impact of technology on the developing brain; the dopamine addiction, the shortened attention span, the interference with melatonin production, the desensitisation to violence and this leads to mixed feelings about screens

Sign up below and you'll be taken straight through to the audio, and you'll also receive an email with the audio link so you can listen at any time.

You'll also find my guidance on your questions:

• "How much screentime is okay?"
• "How should I set a limit?"
