“In all my years of doing this since 2016, I have never worked with a single family that eliminated screens or significantly decreased screens and went on to regret it. Every single one of them saw a brand new child who slept better, ate better, conversed better, socialized better, did better at school,” says Michael McLeod, of Grow Now ADHD.
In this episode of “Screen Less Play More,” Michael gives AMAZING advice to parents who are trying to navigate, manage, and survive screen time and technology. He has special insight into kids with ADHD.
Michael tells us, “executive functions are the greatest predictor of success for human beings, not IQ. Not athletic ability, not grades, not what college you went to, none of that. It is executive functioning skills that help you to move out of your parents’ house, get a house, pay the bills, live independently, get a job, keep a job, make friends, keep friends. That’s executive functioning, period. And executive functions are developed and strengthened through relationships and experiences.”
