Thank you so much, NBC News Daily, for the opportunity to discuss how screen time is impacting children. A study showed that when screens are used for calming, it may prevent the development of other emotional regulation strategies. 💫Family phone fasts, where everyone puts their devices away and does a non screen activity, can be one way to create boundaries with devices. 💫Having phone free zones and phone free activities can also be a way to create space from screens. 💫For emotionally intense moments, try the name, claim, tame method. Name the emotion, claim it as your own, and tame it with movement, writing, or talking it out. 💫Even though these studies focused on kids, all of us can benefit from being intentional about our screen use. 💫Thank you to @morgankradford & @vickynguyentv for the conversation. #medicaljournalism #screentime #emotionalhealth #phonefast #kidsmentalhealth #
