In a day and age of smartphones, electronic billboards, TVs, and the seemingly impossible to avoid screen, it’s easy to lose connection to what matters most, that being our community as human beings. We crave connection, and by mindlessly scrolling or putting on a video to appease ourselves or a child, we inherently rob ourselves and our charges of a chance to truly connect, oftentimes causing irrevocable damage to the brain. 

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Will Maurer discuss the importance of early childhood development and how it is harmed by overstimulating media, as well as the research going into this issue.
