The Scary Truth About Kids and Screen Time Limits | Ep 072 31:01

31:01

Send us a text 📱 Could limiting your child's screen time actually be harming their development? In this provocative episode of Gurus and Game Changers, hosts Stacey and Mark interview Mark Prensky, the education visionary who coined the term "digital native" and makes the shocking claim that restricting technology access harms kids. With his impressive credentials (Yale, Harvard, NSA and Department of Defense advisor), Prensky argues against conventional wisdom, believing that unlimited technology access is children's "birthright." While most experts warn about technology's harmful effects, Prensky suggests the opposite - that phones, games, and digital connections are essential tools for today's "Third Millennium Kids." "School phone bans? One of the silliest things I've ever heard," claims Prensky. Age restrictions for smartphones? "A kid should have a phone as soon as they will say 'I won't do anything bad.'" He believes the real source of youth stress isn't technology but adults trying to control it. Chapters with Time Codes 00:00 - The revolutionary claim: Technology restriction is like a "lobotomy" 02:20 - "Third Millennium Kids": Why today's children need unrestricted tech access 04:49 - "The MESS": Traditional education is failing digital natives 07:15 - From Harvard to tech revolutionary: Prensky's impressive background 08:42 - The surprising source of youth anxiety (it's not the technology) 10:25 - "One of the silliest things": Why Prensky condemns school phone bans 12:10 - "Surprise me": How technology transforms learning 14:16 - Digital natives and social skills: Prensky's optimistic view 17:39 - Technology and empathy: How devices support emotional growth 21:01 - "How could your kid NOT have a phone?": When children should get devices 21:48 - The sleepover scenario: Reframing how we view kids' phone use 24:08 - "Addiction" vs. engagement: Why Prensky rejects the addiction label 27:10 - "Say YES, not NO": The positive parenting approach Prensky advocates 28:14 - Technology as birthright: Why access matters for development 30:23 - Final thoughts: Embracing a new approach to raising digital natives Key Takeaways 📺 Restricting screen time is like giving children a "lobotomy" and denying their "birthright" 📺 Prensky's Yale, Harvard, and NSA advisor credentials add to his revolutionary views 📺 Traditional education system (the "MESS") is outdated and failing today's digital natives 📺 Technology serves as a "de-stressor" for kids; adults create most of youth anxiety 📺 School phone bans and "Yonder Pouches" prevent crucial skill development 📺 Education should start with students' interests, using technology to pursue passions 📺 So-called "addiction" is often valuable skill development in digital environments 📺 Parenting approach: "Yes, if..." instead of "No" with negotiated boundaries 📺 Kids should have phones as soon as they can use them responsibly 📺 "Third Millennium Kids" need unlimited access to develop capabilities beyond previous generations 📲 Connect with Our Hosts: Stacey: https://www.instagram.com/staceymgrant/ Mark: https://www.instagram.com/mark_lubragge_onair/ ⭐️ Watch/Subscribe to Gurus and Game Changers on Youtube: www.youtube.com/@UCsRyuQWlLAYzM4IyJlF2IWQ 📲 Connect with Mark Prensky Website: https://marcprensky.com/ Books: https://marcprenskyarchive.com/books/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Prensky.M #KidsTech #ScreenTime #DigitalParenting #PhoneRules #ScreenTimeLimits #MarkPrensky #DigitalNative #TechEducation #ParentingTips #KidsAndPhones #ThirdMillenniumKids #TechnologyInSchools #EdTech #PhoneBans #ModernLearning #ParentingAdvice…

While handled sensitively, listener discretion is advised. The Story At 16, Sandy Phillips Kirkham thought she had found a spiritual mentor in her youth pastor. Instead, she found herself trapped in a five-year nightmare of manipulation and abuse, masked behind the facade of religious guidance. Now, decades later, Sandy breaks her silence in this powerful episode, taking us through her journey from a trusting teenager to a fierce advocate for change. But this isn't just a story about trauma – it's a testament to resilience. After years of carrying this burden alone, Sandy didn't just confront her abuser; she transformed her pain into purpose. Her book "Let Me Prey Upon You" rips away the veil of secrecy that often protects religious institutions, exposing how predators exploit faith to access their victims. Whether you're a parent, religious leader, or someone grappling with their own trauma, Sandy's insights could help protect the next vulnerable teen or guide another survivor toward healing.
