Show Notes
Breaks from school are prime time for screen time. But how much screen time is too much? And what can we do about it? Is screen time ever a good thing?
In this episode of “In It,” Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek talk to Dr. Devorah Heitner. Devorah is the author of two books: Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World and Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. She also speaks about screens at K-12 schools.

In this final episode of In It, we talk with Jessica Shaw, who’s launching a new podcast called TBD — it’s about the beautiful roller coaster that is parenting neurodivergent kids.
When a teacher says your child is “too smart” for special education services, it doesn’t feel like a compliment — it’s more like a roadblock!
Mornings can be chaos, especially when neurodivergence is part of the mix — for your kids or for you. This week, we’re joined by Jon Zeitlin from HabitCoach, who’s been in the thick of it. Jon and his son both have ADHD, so they’ve had to build routines that work for brains like theirs. Spoiler: It starts the night before.
As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to hear your child say “I’m stupid.”
