Why she believes that tech in schools has been a disaster for students and is destroying the education system from within.
Stick around.
We're coming right back.
Thanks for joining me on the Oprah podcast.
I'm talking with Stanford addiction specialist, Dr. Anna Lemke, who has some really poignant advice for parents.
If you know someone who's worried about their children's dependence on their devices, please share this link with them to this episode.
It could be so helpful.
Here's more of our conversation.
So in a clip that has since gone viral, British actor Hugh Grant vented his frustrations as a parent in the age of tech.
Many say he spoke for millions of parents.
Here it is in case you haven't seen this.
Well, Hugh Grant is a patron of an organization called Close Screens Open Minds, which advocates to get screens and tech out of the school curriculum.
Now, another patron is Sophie Winkleman, an actress and member of the British royal family by marriage.
Sophie, thank you so much for joining us from London.
Thank you.
Honored to be here.
Why did you get involved and what are you hoping to achieve?
Because this used to be what everybody wanted.
You wanted your kid to go to a school that was tech savvy.
We all found out later that many tech execs send their own children to schools that don't allow screens.
