Technology Without Chaos: Healthy Screen Habits for Families

This week on the podcast, Dr. Beth Long explores how screens, technology, and overstimulation are shaping children and families today. She discusses how many parents feel stuck between wanting to protect their children from unhealthy screen habits while also navigating the reality of technology in everyday life.

Through both clinical insight and practical examples, Dr. Long helps parents understand how screens impact emotional regulation, attention, stress levels, and skill development. She also discusses the importance of teaching children healthy technology habits with consistency, intentionality, and connection rather than fear or shame.

This episode encourages parents to move away from power struggles around screens and toward creating a home environment where technology is approached with balance, awareness, and healthy boundaries.
