About this listen

Are your child's screen time habits affecting their mood, behaviors, or academic performance?

Parent–child conflicts in some households revolve around technology. Children demand more screen time and parents lack strategies to know how to intervene, leaving them feeling guilty and powerless. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In Breaking Kids Free From Screen Addiction, Richard Bass, a seasoned educator with a wealth of experience in childhood disabilities and mental health disorders, offers modern parenting advice and solutions on how to understand and combat the effects of excessive screen time for children of all age groups.

Topics covered include

  • how screen time disrupts cognitive function, leading to reduced attention spans and learning challenges
  • how screens threaten children's self-image and interfere with their ability to form healthy relationships
  • preventative strategies to manage screen behaviors before they get out of control, including establishing balanced routines, setting boundaries, and creating a family culture that supports offline activities
  • practical tools and worksheets, such as sample schedules and a family media plan, to positively change your family's relationship with technology

The book's unique approach also addresses how screen addiction can mirror symptoms of mental illnesses like anxiety, ODD, and ADHD. It combines discipline strategies with compassionate and realistic parenting strategies to restore children's mental and emotional balance.

Don't wait for your child's screen habits to take a toll on their health. Start today with proven strategies that will help you regain parental control and ensure your child thrives in our interconnected world.

I really appreciated the depth of information in this audiobook, especially the parts linking screen time to mental health. However, some chapters felt a bit dense and theoretical, and I had to replay them to absorb the content. Still, it’s filled with great advice and worth the time for any parent serious about change.
