The benefits of electronic weaning
The link between exposure to screens and negative impacts on children’s brains is now the subject of a broad scientific consensus. Sleep disorders, mood swings, attention problems, hyperactivity, social difficulties, isolation, lower school performance… for child psychiatrist Victoria Dunckley, these symptoms are mostly the result of what she calls “Electronic Screen Syndrome” (ESS). Screens are on the same footing as stimulants such as caffeine, cocaine and amphetamines: by triggering a high level of excitation in the brains of children still under construction, they rapidly disrupt their behavior.
Television, computers, video games, tablets, cell phones: how do we manage these screens that have become an ever-increasing part of young people’s lives, both at school and at home? For parents who are often discouraged, Victoria Dunckley offers a proven four-week electronic weaning program. Drawing on numerous cases of young people she has taken on herself, she tackles all the questions and reactions of parents head-on, without passing judgment.
A real practical tool, this book presents an in-depth analysis of the effects of screens on children, as well as a complete program to reduce step-by-step the dependence on screens on a daily basis, and thus “reset” their brains. It’s time for the role of screens to become a social issue: the health and social life of an entire generation depend on it.
