Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 152: Education Thought Leader Jordan Shapiro on Screens, Kids, and His Book "The New Childhood" · 5 Apr 2019 podcast

Because I get really scared that if we scapegoat the video games, we haven't solved the actual problem that led to that unhealthy relationship in the first place.

And that's what we really need to worry about.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's a symptom of something deeper.

And yeah, we often do, you know, we need to address the symptom.

And the way to address the symptom might be a kind of video game rehab or whatever, but you still haven't addressed the problem.

Well, again, it's not really my field, but I will say I've seen quite a bit of research about it.

It usually suggests that it goes the other way, though, right?

That ADHD, for example, leads to excessive interest in screens, not the other way around.

And that I don't know if it

worsens things.

I don't even know if it's possible to worsen things, right?

Look, I think to me, when I think about this question, and again, I'm doing this without a lot of knowledge about the specific issues that your community faces, but I would still say that every kid is different and everyone needs to figure out what's best for that particular child.

And I'm sure there are cases where the screen and the devices are in the way of

starting to learn habits and behaviors and patterns that are better for the individual child.

And in that case, then we certainly need to intervene.

But then I think there's times when it's not.

And the idea to think that this technology is always one or the other, I think is just problematic.

It might be the only thing that gives your child comfort in between all the other important therapies they're doing, for example.

In which case, why would you want to take that away from them?
