This encore episode remains one of the most replayed conversations in the Screen Less Play More vault.
Are your kids addicted to screens—or does it feel like it? In this episode of Screen Less Play More, executive function specialist Michael McLeod (Grow Now ADHD) explains why screen addiction in kids, digital overload, and excessive screen time are becoming some of the biggest challenges modern parents face.
Michael shares: "I've never worked with a single family who reduced screens and regretted it. Every one saw a new child—better sleep, better behavior, better social skills, and better success at school."
If you're dealing with iPad addiction, video game addiction, ADHD and screen time struggles, or daily meltdowns when it's time to turn devices off, you'll learn practical, research-informed strategies to finally get control of technology in your home.
Michael explains why executive function skills—not IQ or grades—predict lifelong success, and how too much exposure to screens weakens attention, emotional regulation, independence, and motivation. You'll hear how these skills develop through screen-free activities, real conversations, and relationship-based play.
