Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, Herman and Corn dive deep into the developmental psychology of screen time, moving past parental guilt to look at the hard data. They discuss the "video deficit effect," why fast-paced media might be hijacking young dopamine systems, and the surprising truth about the "educational" labels on children's programming. This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of how digital media shapes the neurobiology of toddlers and what parents can do to foster healthy cognitive growth in a digital age.
