I think, overall, that they're using their devices so so much that they're missing the personal connection and thus freeing up the headspace for this hotbed of stress, anxiety, depression, whatever it may be, that all of this processing, all of the cognitive processing, all of the learning, is going on really in this device, in this appendage that they're raised with.
Have you ever wondered how smartphones and technology are shaping the minds of today's youth? Dr. Allison Caras, PhD, joins Dr. Jacques de Broekert in this eye-opening episode to discuss the profound impact of technology on learning and connection. As a clinical therapist, Dr. Caras has seen firsthand how excessive screen time can lead to anxiety, depression, and a troubling disconnect from meaningful human interactions.
She shares her observations on how these devices are not only affecting kids' ability to learn but also their capacity to form real, personal connections. Throughout their conversation, Dr. Caras and Dr. de Broekert delve into the challenges educators face in a tech-saturated world and the critical need for awareness and proactive measures. They offer practical tips for parents and teachers on promoting healthy device use and fostering environments where kids can thrive both cognitively and emotionally.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or just curious about the effects of technology on young minds, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable advice to help navigate this digital landscape.
