Show Notes

This week on Mum's The Word, Kelsey Parker is joined by psychologist and author Dr Charlotte Armitage, the woman behind Generation Zombie and founder of Be Device Wise, for an honest look at why she's gone completely screen-free at home.

From shocking Ofcom figures (some kids on screens eleven hours a day) to the dopamine trap, the ADHD overlap, and the real dangers reaching children in their own bedrooms, Charlotte breaks down the science every parent needs to hear, plus why it's good for kids to be bored and how to set boundaries from a place of love.

Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Kelsey and Charlotte for another episode of Mum's The Word.
