Screens Are Rewiring Our Children: Here's How to Regain Control
About this episode
Dr. Arthur Chin discusses the impact of screens and technology on children's mental health and offers practical solutions for families.
In this episode, Dr Arthur Chin, author of The Scrolling Generation: Managing Screen Time and Protecting Our Kids' Mental Health , explains why today's biggest challenge isn't simply how long children spend online, but how algorithms and AI are shaping their attention, emotions and behaviour. We explore the warning signs parents often miss, why school rules alone won't solve the problem. Michelle Martin finds out about the practical ways families can build healthier digital habits without declaring war on technology. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
