PSP: 256 How Anxiety & OCD Impact Tech Use

As parents, we all struggle with our children’s tech use. It seems like most kids have their heads buried in their phone, computer or game console. But what if it goes deeper? What if they are using technology to avoid their anxiety or OCD? What if they are using tech to do compulsions? Or what if tech is part of what is actually growing their anxiety? In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how anxiety and OCD impact tech use and what we can do about it.
