If you’re stuck in a cycle of screen battles, emotional meltdowns, poor sleep, and low motivation—and nothing seems to work—this episode is for you.
Join digital wellness coach Nicole Rawson and physician co-host Dr. Chang as they unpack the real reason your child’s screen habits might be sabotaging their peace, health, and emotional stability—and why a complete digital detox is often the only way to restore calm and connection in your home.
This episode goes far beyond screen-time limits or guilt-based parenting advice. Instead, we break down the brain science, the spiritual impact, and the simple strategies that can help your child heal—often in a matter of days.
🎯 You’ll learn:
- Why dopamine burnout from screens leads to defiance, meltdowns, and "zoning out"
- What screen time does to sleep, focus, and emotional regulation
- How a detox reveals the truth: your child may not need a diagnosis—just a break
- What TechXpress Reset families see by Day 3 (hint: it’s powerful)
- How sunlight, movement, and nutrient-dense meals accelerate healing
- Why kids start to feel grateful again when they’re not drowning in digital comparison
- How detoxing screens gives your child a chance to renew their worldview and recognize the blessings they already have
- When to consider medication—and why detoxing should come first
🧠 Dr. Chang also shares medical insight on how overstimulation mimics clinical symptoms—and how quickly the brain can begin to reprogram itself when the noise is removed.
✝️ And for families of faith, Nicole shares how detoxing screens creates the mental and emotional space needed to realign with truth—reminding kids and parents alike that their value comes from God, not from likes, followers, or filtered perfection.
