Today, we're tackling a topic that's become all too familiar: our obsession with screens. It used to be that baseball was America's favorite pastime. But now? It's all about those screens—video games, social media, and more. But are we going too far? Are we inadvertently hurting our kids by giving them free rein with technology?
Our guest today, Nicole Rawson, founder of Screentime Clinic, knows firsthand the damaging effects of technology overload. As a mom to two boys, she initially saw the appeal of technology—entertainment, education, you name it. But before long, she noticed troubling signs in her boys—withdrawal, mood swings, and so many others. It was then she realized her son was hooked, addicted to screens.
Nicole went on a mission to break her son free from the grip of addiction. And from that journey, Screentime Clinic was born—a lifeline for families grappling with the same issues. Through their innovative programs, Nicole helps families detox from excessive screen time and reclaim their lives.
