284: ENCORE: Screens, Toxic Stress & Staying Connected with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris

You know screens and social media can be risky for your kid. But do you know exactly what harm looks like… and what actually protects them from it? Dr. Lisa Damour revisits her conversation with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, pioneering pediatrician, author, and California's first Surgeon General, recorded live at the Common Sense Summit on Kids and Families. A globally recognized expert on Adverse Childhood Experiences and toxic stress, Dr. Burke Harris has spent her career studying what harms children and what heals them. Her answer to the screen time crisis might surprise you: the most powerful protection isn't stricter screen time rules; it's your relationship with your child. 💡 YOU'LL LEARN: \- Why a strong, connected relationship with a caregiver is the single most powerful buffer against the harms of toxic online content and manipulative algorithms \- How to invite your kid to share disturbing things they've seen online (and the specific language that keeps that door open) \- Why teaching kids to see the manipulation behind the content, not just the content itself, builds real, lasting resistance to toxic content \- How to tie phone and social media access to developmental readiness, not just age — including how a digital citizenship contract works in practice \- The two questions that help teens reflect on whether they're choosing their content or their content is choosing them \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\__  GET DR.
