In this episode, I sit down with Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author Dr. Carl Marci to talk about how technology is reshaping our brains, our attention spans, and our relationships\u2014especially when it comes to parenting in a digital world. We dig into: The impact of screens on kids' brain development Why multitasking is a myth (and what it\u2019s really doing to your brain) The connection between screen time and rising mental health issues Tech-life balance strategies for parents What age is actually right for social media How to build healthier digital habits\u2014without ditching technology entirely Dr. Marci isn\u2019t anti-tech\u2014far from it. But he\u2019s got a clear warning: we need to stop reacting to tech and start using it intentionally. If you\u2019ve ever handed your kid a tablet just to make it through the grocery store (guilty here too), this conversation is for you. \ud83c\udfa7 Full show notes and resources: https:\/\/www.nosittingonthesideline.com\/164 https:\/\/www.rewiredthebook.com   \ud83d\udcd8 Grab Dr. Marci\u2019s book: Enjoying the show?
