In this episode, Melanie welcomes back Dr. Victoria Dunckley, an integrative psychiatrist and author of Reset Your Child’s Brain: A Four-Week Plan to End Meltdowns, Raise Grades, and Boost Social Skills by Reversing the Effects of Electronic Screen Time. This conversation, taken from a previous interview, focuses on the practical steps parents can take to successfully implement the screen-time reset. Dr. Dunckley shares strategies for preparing the whole family, including how to engage a reluctant spouse, tips for single parents, and what to expect from children as they adjust. She also debunks common myths about screen use, such as the fear of lost friendships or the belief that early tech exposure is necessary for future success. Describing the reset as a transformational process, Dr. Dunckley explains how reducing screen time strengthens a child’s brain, improves self-discipline, and fosters deeper connections.
