Screen Time: When Teens Have a Healthy Lifestyle! - New

In this episode, I talk to Hilarie Cash, who works with adults and adolescents, about technology, screen addiction, gaming, and the dark web. What can we do to limit screen time? How can we create healthy boundaries with technology? In doing so, we can help our children negotiate and navigate their relationship with technology, smartphones and video games. Take a listen!


Dr. Hilarie Cash is co-founder and Chief Clinical Officer for reSTART Life, PLLC, a residential program (first in the US or Canada) designed explicitly for adults and adolescents who are experiencing serious problems (mental, physical, and social) because of addiction to the Internet and video games. She began her work in this new field in the mid-90's. By 1999 she had co-founded an outpatient clinic called Internet/Computer Addiction Services (now closed) in Redmond, WA. In 2008, she co-authored the book Video Games and Your Kids: How Parents Stay in Control and in 2009, she co-founded reSTART Life, PLLC. All of these ongoing endeavors have brought her recognition as one of the nation's leading clinical experts in the growing field of Internet and video game addiction.
