59: Why Screen Time Is Really an Internet Problem, Not a Parenting One
SHOW SUMMARY:
Why executive function is experience based and why screen access matters. This conversation with Michael McLeod of Grow Now ADHD focuses on what executive functioning really is, why so many kids become prompt dependent, and how parents can support independence without over-prompting. Michael explains why he believes delaying internet access is one of the most effective ways to protect attention, motivation, and social development. We also cover his four pillars of executive functioning, what his coaching model looks like in practice, and why real world experiences matter more than worksheets or lectures.
