About this episode
Devi Brown discusses the urgent need for conscious parenting with Dr. Shefali, focusing on the impact of technology on children's development.
An urgent and provocative message urging parents and adults alike to put your phones down and connect. Our children are facing a rapidly changing landscape, shifting from play-based to phone-based childhoods that influence how they perceive and interact with the world. Devi welcomes back clinical psychologist and Conscious Parenting Movement Founder Dr. Shefali to discuss how conscious parenting has grown since her 2010 book The Conscious Parent and why she wrote two new books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons (releasing September 15). Dr. Shefali warns us that cheap, superficial “knowledge,” instant gratification, and reduced boredom undermine focus, creativity, grit, and resilience, contributing to anxiety, depression, self-harm, loneliness, and suicidality. She is empowering parents to act fast, break away from the algorithm, and put your phones down because this technological world is not designed for healthy childhoods.
