‘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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
