Why the Screen Detox Feels So Hard: Helping Kids Relearn How to Want Ordinary Life
Published 1 month ago
Description
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why kids can become irritable, anxious, restless, and unfocused when screen time suddenly drops after a season of heavier use. They discuss how screens shape attention and daily rhythms and how parents can create healthier patterns without making every break from routine a technology binge. Parents will be encouraged to use gradual transitions and help kids develop new rhythms and desires that support self control and healthier engagement with everyday life.
