About this episode

Dr Ron Ehrlich discusses digital wellbeing and strategies for raising resilient children with Dr Sajita Setia.

How do we raise healthy, resilient children in an age dominated by smartphones, social media and artificial intelligence? In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by Dr Sajita Setia , a physician, researcher and advocate for digital wellbeing. Together they explore the growing evidence linking excessive screen use with poor sleep, anxiety, depression, attention problems and declining family connection. Rather than advocating fear or blanket bans, Dr Setia encourages parents, educators and policymakers to prioritise education, compassionate conversations and healthy digital boundaries. She explains how simple lifestyle changes - such as removing devices from bedrooms, modelling healthy behaviour and spending intentional screen-free family time - can dramatically improve children's wellbeing. The discussion also explores AI, social media algorithms, gender differences in technology use, school responsibilities and practical steps every family can implement immediately. ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Dr Sajita Setia is a physician with more than 20 years of medical experience and a researcher specialising in 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴❟…
