About this listen

 What if your child’s screen time is causing permanent damage—and you don’t even know it yet? In this compelling episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Clare Morell, public policy expert and author of The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones. Together, they unpack one of the most startling screen-related health issues facing kids today: chronic dry eye. Once seen only in the elderly, dry eye is now affecting children as young as eight—often irreversibly—due to reduced blinking during screen use. But it’s not just the eyes. Clare shares how digital overuse is quietly reshaping children’s brains, behavior, and even their ability to think original thoughts. From real-life stories of families who ditched devices to groundbreaking school policies and church youth group solutions, this conversation will leave you informed—and empowered. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or community leader, you’ll come away with practical tools, conviction, and the clarity to lead differently in a screen-saturated world. 🔗 Get the Book: The Tech Exit 📥 Free Download – Discussion Guide for Parents: TheTechExit.com/discussion-guide 📥 Free Download – Practical Tips Sheet: TheTechExit.com/practical-tips Learn more about your ad choices.
