What if your kid isn’t “addicted” to their phone—what if their brain is just wired for fast dopamine now? Licensed therapist Kristina Fields, MS, LMFT, breaks down the science of attention, why phone-free school policies actually work, and how small, consistent changes at home can rewire focus without declaring war on technology. She also gets real about using her own clinical playbook at home with her 3- and 5-year-old children.
