Our guest today, Jenifer Joy Madden of Durable Human, joined us last season to give a broad overview of babies and screentime. On this episode, she shares her thoughts on a new study just published in JAMA Medicine.
The study looks at developmental delays in infants and toddlers in relation to how much time they spend with screens. We examine two subgroups, moms with postpartum depression and those who are socioeconomically impacted, who are mentioned in the study as allowing their babies to consume more screen time.
Jenifer Joy Madden is a health journalist, digital media educator, community advocate, and parent. She wrote two books: The Durable Human Manifesto: Practical Wisdom for Living and Parenting in the Digital World and How To Be a Durable Human: Revive and Thrive in the Digital Age Through the Power of Self-Design. And she gave an incredible TEdx Talk.

Kim Hopkins, the Director of Outreach at Lives in the Balance, shares the formula behind the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model and the reason she started (and continued) using it in multiple residential facilities over a decade ago.
CPS is the evidence-based, trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming model of care that helps caregivers focus on identifying the problems that are causing concerning behaviors in kids and solving those problems collaboratively and proactively. The model is a departure from approaches emphasizing the use of consequences to modify concerning behaviors. In families, general and special education schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities, the CPS model has a track record of dramatically improving behavior and dramatically reducing or eliminating discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraints, and seclusions.

Today, with Dr. Bradley Zicherman of Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, we’re going to go over the impact that screens have on our kids’ mental health, and the rise of suicides in youth.
The goal is to bring awareness to a subject that’s hard to talk about and to help spot patterns in our own kids.
In 2020, the CDC named suicide as the second leading cause of death in 15- to 19-year-olds. A 2018 study on teenagers found links between depression, suicidal thoughts, and the increase in screen time, which all started to rise around 2010—making the researchers believe that smartphones create a negative impact.
If you ever feel that your child needs immediate help, dial 988 to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Let's make sure we’re setting a good example to our kids by letting them know that you see a therapist. Put down devices and look for activities to do as a family. Create a space that makes you and your family feel safe. Be empathetic. And the easiest one, that’s often hardest to put into action? Let's have fun together.

How many of our teens are actually watching porn? Well, that’s tough to estimate since we’re relying on self-reporting.
A longitudinal study published in 2022 found that 63 to 68 percent of teens have watched porn in their lifetime, and 23 to 42 percent have watched in the last year.
And the main source is smartphones, with that initial foray being unexpected about half the time.
To help us understand this topic better, we’re talking to Garett Jonsson of Fight the New Drug, an anti-pornography organization.

Mom Guilt? 8 Tips to Overcome Shame When Your Child Sees PornSmart Plan for Parents Guide -
Today we’re talking about the pinnacle of innovation, creativity, and wealth. Well, at least in our kids’ eyes. We’re talking about iPhones. Why? Because our kids ask for them by name, and we could very easily dust off an old model as a hand-me-down.
But what challenges will we face if we go this route? Well, for starters, the workarounds and loopholes are endless. Here are just a few:
After kids reach the maximum screen time limit, they can use Siri to dictate and send messages to their friends. Want to block YouTube through the parental controls? Too bad, cause they’ll just open an embedded link to YouTube through iMessage.When their time limit is up, they can delete and reinstall apps to restart the clock.Kids can pull passcodes that let them bypass, disable or change limits by screen recording after handing their device to you.And kids can simply change their time zone to increase their screen time.If the hand-me-down iPhone (or new one!) is the path you’re planning to take, try to stay ahead of your kid by reviewing the possible loopholes and dangers they'll encounter.
Just remember, we can’t control our kids, but we can strengthen our relationships—and that is the most powerful tool we have in keeping our kids and teens on the right track.
