‘Media-trician’ Dr. Michael Rich thinks you should abandon screen time restrictions because "they don't work."

Dr. Rich is a doctor and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital. As director and founder of The Digital Wellness Lab and the Clinic for Problematic Interactive Media Use, he is an expert in the intersection of medicine, mental health, and screen time.

Host Jazmin Aguilera sits down with the self-described ‘mediatrician’ as he walks through what the Digital Wellness Lab and the Clinic for Interactive Media and Internet Disorders see on a day to day basis, how their research informs their guidelines for parents, and what tangible steps parents can take to develop healthy screen habits with their children.
