In this episode, I’m joined by Michael Nagel , Associate Professor at the University of the Sunshine Coast, who researches child and adolescent development and the impact of technology on the developing brain.
We talk about why real-world social interaction, boredom, creativity and connection are so important for children, and what happens when screens begin to replace those experiences.
We explore the research around screen use, wellbeing, anxiety and brain development, as well as addictive design, highly stimulating children’s content and the impact of intensive screen exposure in early childhood.
Michael also shares practical advice for parents around boundaries, modelling healthy technology use and delaying smartphones until around age 13.
A really important conversation for parents trying to navigate childhood in an increasingly digital world.
