This episode concludes the 5-part series about Screen Addiction. In these episodes, Holli Kenley provides parents and educators with resources and information about what screen use and abuse is doing to our children. This final episode focuses on what parents need to know, and need to do, to keep their children healthy and free of an addiction that is compared to opium addiction by many brain development specialists. Dan and Ed share this information in the belief that once they know the risks, parents can protect their kids. What parents must do is go against massive advertising campaigns and movements that hook children into these retarding influences.

Screen Kids Part IV with Holli Kenley

In episode 21, Screen Kids Part IV, Dan and Ed continue our interviews with Holli Kenley, a lady who is reaching thousands of people of all ages through her books, presentations, school assemblies, and radio talks. Her messages are clear and very helpful. She has been a teacher, marriage counselor, and leader in helping us all understand human needs and human development.

This is the fourth part of a five-part series addressed directly to parents and teachers which presents information about the damage flat screens (smart phones, iPads, TVs) do to brain development, especially to children in their earliest stages of growth through age 8. Holli is concerned that much of this new information will cause an overreaction and possibly generate guilt and negative responses. She identifies dangers and offers courses of action that will alleviate these problems. This episode is a gentle introduction.

Why support the Badass Teachers Association? Do teachers who are not professional recognize and support leaders acting to save public education? Have teachers’ unions led the fight to correct lies told to destroy teacher credibility and public schools?
