Manage episode 310275416 series 3051307
We're glad to welcome Debbie Reber of TiLT Parenting for Episode 12 of The Screen Smart Podcast.
Debbie is a New York Times bestselling author and the founder of TiLT Parenting, a website, top podcast, and social media community for parents who are raising differently-wired children. Her new book, Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World, comes out in June 2018.
Our conversation with Debbie includes:
- What it means to be differently wired or "neurodiverse" and how many children can be described this way (you might be shocked!).
- Whether the increasing number of diagnoses is related to greater awareness or to issues related to technology.
- How the Reber family manages technology with their differently-wired teenager, and how that has evolved over time.
- Why she is not usually in favor of banning technology and how she suggests parents handle contentious issues and situations.
- How she helps her son learn to self regulate screen time.
