UNDERSTANDING SCREEN ADDICTION WITH ADHD EXPERT SIMON DA ROZA
A lot of parents have asked me how to deal with screen addictions in their nuerodiverse children. This is especially important during the holidays, so this week in the podcast I speak with ADHD expert Simon Da Roza about executive functioning and managing screen time.
Learn how to reduce from 16 hours a day to just 1 by Understanding Screen Addiction!
4 Types of Screen Addiction
By Simon Da Roza
What to do!
Ownership: make sure the child realises there is a problem so they can start working to fix it. Try getting them to guess how many hours a day they spend on a screen before checking with them. Encourage them to set targets for themself.
Plan B: encourage the child to consider other options – different ways they can spend their time to maximise a healthy brain:
- Learning
- Attitude
- Exercise
- Down time
- Sleep
- Meditation and mindfulness
- Connection – with family, friends and nature
- Routine
- Diet
- A team the child can work with
- Medication
