About this episode

The episode discusses strategies to help break children's screen addiction through insights from Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff.

Your kid's post-screen meltdown isn't because they love the app. It's because the app was designed to keep them wanting. Neuroscientists call it a digital slot machine. I speak with Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff, author of Dopamine Kids, about how she broke the cycle with her own tween daughter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
