Season 6, Episode 40
Dr. David Wiesenhorn, our Extension Specialist for Parenting and Child Development, presents practical strategies for managing and understanding our screen time. He inspires listeners to take a moment of reflection and ask key questions such as: "Am I being mindful?", "Am I being kind?" and "Am I being constructive?" among others as we consider the time we spend on phones and other digital devices. These questions aid in promoting conscious use of digital devices, encouraging a healthier and more beneficial digital lifestyle.
He also points out the research from Boston Children's Hospital's Digital Wellness Lab that throws light on the same. The episode nudges listeners to reevaluate their online habits, prioritize personal connections, and make choices that promote mental, emotional health. Tune in for some insights on maintaining a healthy balance in this digital age.
