"I would not let them near a screen..."

Dr. Gabor Maté doesn’t mince words about the risks of screens in childhood.

He explains that devices aren’t just neutral tools, they’re engineered to keep us hooked.

For young children, that design is especially harmful. Too much exposure too early can shape the way their brains and nervous systems develop, and it can pull attention away from the connection they need most.

The message kids receive matters just as much as the science.

When they see us absorbed in our phones, they often feel the screen is more important than they are.

His advice is simple but firm: delay social media for as long as possible, limit screens in early years, and model presence by putting your own phone down.

It makes us wonder: how can we live in a digital world without letting devices take over our relationships with our kids?
