Join Eastside CHADD for a free Zoom Meeting on Thursday, January 25, 7 to 8:30 pm
"Potential Impacts of Screen Time on Child Development"
In this 1.5-hour training for parents, Dr. Cash will explain how the media that our children consume is carefully designed to hold their attention through the stimulation of the pleasure pathway in the brain. She will make the audience aware of the impacts that too much screen time has on child development and clarify what the research shows are the healthy limits that parents need to place on their children's screen use. All parents want their children to develop good academic skills, social skills, emotional regulation skills, and executive function skills. Screens have the potential to interfere with the acquisition of those skills. The audience will be encouraged to share their successes and struggles in limiting screen time.
Dr. Cash began her work in the emerging field of Internet addiction in the mid-90's. In 2008, she co-authored the book Video Games and Your Kids: How Parents Stay in Control. In 2009, she co-founded reSTART Life, the first U.S. residential program designed explicitly for adults and adolescents who are experiencing addiction to the Internet and video games, as well as other mental health problems. ReSTART also offers a transition program for adults and outpatient services. She is reStart’s Chief Clinical Officer. Dr. Cash has co-authored several peer-reviewed journal articles and a workbook published by the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals. She trains parents, therapists, researchers, and educators. All these ongoing endeavors have brought her recognition as one of the nation's leading clinical experts in the growing field of Internet and Gaming Disorder.
