Welcome to the Screen Addiction Podcast where I reveal the secret Silicon Valley science addicting our kids to screens. I am Dr. Richard Freed, a child and adolescent psychologist trained at Cambridge Hospital/Harvard Medical School, an author featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and the proud father of two daughters. 

Upcoming episodes expose that the social media and video games industry claims are just fun places for kids to connect and play are purpose-built by world-leading brain scientists to steal kids away from all things real world to spend their lives staring at screens. I’ll also uncover how leading child health organizations promising to protect kids from unhealthy screens are betraying your trust as they take industry money, promote kids’ screens, and undermine their health. Instead, I’ll describe science-based recommendations that promote kids’ health, happiness, and success in this digital age.

Thank you so much for your interest in the science of screen addiction!
