Taming the Screen: Dr. Fasano's Tips for Healthier Kids

We need to be mindful of the impact that excessive screen time can have on our children's mental health and development. It's our responsibility as parents and educators to limit this time and implement healthy screen habits.
Screens are everywhere, and keeping kids away from them feels like an uphill battle. But what if there were simple strategies to manage their screen time effectively? In this episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show', Dr. Christopher Fasano dives into five practical tips to help parents and educators create healthier digital habits for children. Research shows that too much screen time can lead to issues like depression, anxiety, and attention problems. Dr.
Fasano, a developmental neuroscientist, breaks down these strategies in a way that's easy to understand and implement. From setting clear boundaries around when screens can be used, to making screen time a reward rather than a given, these tips are designed to fit seamlessly into daily routines. He also highlights the importance of face-to-face interaction and putting devices away during key moments like meals or bedtime.
These strategies not only limit screen time but also promote better social and emotional development. If you're looking for actionable advice to improve your child's mental health and well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
