45 min22 juni 2026

Om avsnittet

ADHD and screen time can be one of the most challenging topics for families to navigate. In this episode, executive function coach Mike McLeod shares the signs that screens may be interfering with your child's independence, motivation, and executive function development. We also discuss how patterns of parent attention can unintentionally reinforce challenging behaviors and what families can do instead. Whether you're questioning your family's technology habits or looking for practical ways to support executive function skills, this episode offers a perspective that may challenge some of your assumptions.
