What Are Screens Replacing in Your Child's Life? Don't Let Easy Information Build Weaker Minds

About this episode

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore concerns that young people may be losing some of the cognitive strength earlier generations developed through reading, sustained attention, memorization, challenge, and real world relationships. They discuss how screens may be crowding out activities that build deeper thinking and why parents still have tremendous influence at home. Parents will be encouraged to read with their kids, value learning over grades, create meaningful challenges, invest relationally, and help children believe that their future, and the wisdom they can bring to it, matters.
