Are we protecting our kids from the wrong dangers? 🤯

In the latest episode of the Baffled podcast, we unpack a massive parenting paradox: We overprotect our children in the physical world (like stopping them from walking to the park alone), but completely UNDER-protect them in the dangerous virtual world by giving them unrestricted internet access.

Join Jonathan and Jason as they dive deep into "The Great Rewiring" of childhood. We discuss the dramatic transition from a play-based childhood to a phone-based one, the very real chemical reasons (like oxytocin and endorphins) why kids go absolutely "berserk" when their screens are taken away, and the 4 hidden harms of constant screen time.

Plus, we share why forcefully removing distractions and letting your kids be BORED might actually be the greatest gift you can give their developing brains.

Want to know the ultimate strategy to help your teen build critical thinking and resilience? (Hint: It involves giving them more freedom in the physical world and stronger boundaries online).
