This science-backed presentation explores the neuroscience behind childhood screen addiction, including how screens disrupt healthy brain development, the role of the dopamine reward pathway in making screens so addictive, and the effects of video games and social media on the brain. It explains why smartphones don't belong in schools, highlights the benefits of phone-free environments, and identifies warning signs of screen overuse and addiction. ScreenStrong offers practical, evidence-based solutions to help families break free from screen dependency, reconnect with the inperson world, and empower kids to develop healthier habits, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of purpose.
