Screens Can Teach, but They Cannot Love: Protecting the Experiences Kids Need Most
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why screens may affect children differently at key stages of development and what kids need from parents that technology cannot provide. They discuss the importance of love, touch, interaction, working memory, and real world experiences while helping parents think beyond simply limiting screen time. Parents will be encouraged to consider not only how much screen time their children have, but what that screen time may be replacing and whether their kids are getting the attentive, face-to-face relationships they need to grow well.

created equal. And not all ages are equally vulnerable to the screen time. It's a hard reality, especially when you're parenting many kids, because at some point, one of the younger kids is going to say, Well, you let the older ones do this one
