Summary

In his third appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras delivers a riveting exploration of the pervasive impact of screens on today’s youth. Drawing from his bestselling books Glow Kids and Digital Madness, Dr. Kardaras and host Ginny Yurich discuss how technology has radically altered childhood, leading to impulsivity, diminished imagination, and rising mental health challenges. From the alarming trend of kindergarteners with iPads to the heartbreaking stories of teens losing touch with reality, Dr. Kardaras underscores the urgent need for parents to reclaim their children’s developmental years. The episode dives into the brain-altering effects of screens, the manipulation of young minds by predatory algorithms, and why boredom is a developmental gift that fosters resilience, creativity, and thriving. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Dr. Kardaras shares actionable solutions to push back against this digital crisis, from fostering nature-based play to advocating for legislative and class-action efforts targeting big tech. He also introduces innovative tools like adventure therapy and Blue Light Health, designed to aid families navigating screen-related struggles. Packed with passion, insights, and hope, this conversation will empower parents to make choices that safeguard their children’s mental and emotional well-being in an increasingly digital world. ** Get your copy of Glow Kids here Get your copy of Digital Madness here Learn more about Dr. Nicholas Kardaras and all he has to offer here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
