So that’s going to be part of the conversation. I’m not a Luddite, and I am interested in exploring how our kids can create healthier relationships with screens, and in particular, how we can change business models and public health policy so that our kids are not being manipulated by these global brands that have neuro-hacking brain scientists on staff that are creating algorithms that will maximize our kids’ use of screens and make it very difficult for them to resist. recognize that they’re part of our lives, and there are many amazing qualities of technology and screen use that kids can implement to make their lives better and to prepare themselves for life in the 21st century. I’m not coming in the show from the perspective of we should get rid of screens entirely. We’re going to talk in this episode about why excess screen time is a problem for kids, what the most recent trends are in terms of the growth of screen time in kids and teens, what some of the physical impacts of screen overuse are, what people should know about the long-term benefits of moderating screen time, why children’s technology use is a public health issue and not just an individual issue for parents or kids, I think is a really important point that we need to recognize and rally behind, how child-targeted marketing contributes to excess screen time and the other issues that type of marketing can cause, and what steps parents can take to help their kids have a healthier relationship with technology and screens in this environment that we live in today where screens are ubiquitous. Jean uses screen time research to help parents and professionals reduce children’s screen time and promote creative play. We’ll talk about what that means in the show. She is the director of the Screen Time Action Network, and she is also on the staff of Fairplay, which is an organization that advocates for childhood beyond brands. I’m really excited to welcome Jean Rogers as my guest for this week. And that concern has increased over the past few years as I’ve learned more about the potentially harmful impacts of excess screen use in these age groups, as I’ve seen trends continue to increase in terms of the amount of time that kids and teens are spending on screens, and learned more about the tactics that social media companies and technology firms use to maximize kids’ use of screens, profit from their attention, and create an entire business model around getting kids to engage in what I think are unhealthy ways with content on social media. I’ve been concerned about the impact of excess screen time on kids and teens for many years. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio.
