Reversing the Effects of Electronic Screen-Time of your Child’s
by Harry Shawn An Apt Solution for Online PresenceA no-cost, nonpharmaceutical treatment plan for children with behavioral and mental health challenges
Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS).
BUY NOW on AMAZONDr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices — such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets — can easily overstimulate a child’s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’s diagnosis.
Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function — all without cost or medication. Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.
Some reviews:
“Impressively researched, eye-opening, and eminently practical, Reset Your Child’s Brain is an invaluable contribution to any parent’s library. Dr. Dunckley’s plan is sure to provide relief to a great many children — and their families.”
— Craig Malkin, PhD, instructor in psychology, Harvard Medical School, and author of Rethinking Narcissism

Reset Your Child's Brain has transformed my children in ways I couldn't have even imagined four weeks ago. I am embarrassed to say that my 3 and 7 year old boys were playing the iPad up to 10 hours a day (they each had their own. I can't even believe that, but they did). I had suspected for some time that the iPad was particularly disruptive to my 3 year old, but I truly didn't think I could 'survive' without the quiet that the tablets provided. How would I get anything done? What would the kids DO with all that time? After googling 'is the iPad bad for kids' and stumbling upon Dr. Dunckley's website and book, I made the decision then and there to take it away. We actually started the fast before I was able to read thr book! The results have been dramatic with my 3 year old.

Electronic screen stimulation has transformed our lives in the early 21st century. It has been embraced by parents and educators with an unquestioning blind optimism and the kind of faith usually reserved for messiahs. We have handed the lives of our children to the alter of technology surrendering them to endless self-stimulation and simulated excitement. This has exhausted them and left them surly and unhappily bored looking for the next electronic fix. They have become further and further disconnected from life as it is really lived. They are left without the skills they need to deal to enjoy real life with its kaleidoscope of interpersonal relationships all taking place in a four dimensional world full of nature and other livings agents.

   HHCTB?Since I do not have kids I find it hard to imagine that a parent would allow a child to play with a iPad for 10 hours a day. I see little kids, big kids as well as adults hooked to their devise as if all life depended upon it.... Let me give you a heads up.. IT DOES NOT! Jun 6th 2016 08:18 |

An Apt Solution for Online PresenceYou are right Cindy Bolley none of any parents will allow their child to play with a iPad for 10 hours but kids are you know.. and lots of parents are facing this problem every day. The time they spend on screen is may be less but the focus of this book is to provide solutions to reduce the the screen time of the kids and encourage them to enjoy real life with relationships in a four dimensional world full of nature and other livings agents.
