Description

Research shows that screens – and the hyper-social connections they provide – can trigger dopamine responses in users so frequently it can turn us into actual addicts. And for kids, that’s especially concerning. That’s why some people are trying “anti-dopamine parenting.” Reset checks in with two experts on what a digital rest could look like for kids. Devorah Heitner is author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World and Growing Up in Public. Dr. Khalid Afzal is assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Chicago Medicine.
