IS SCREENTIME IMPACTING YOUR CHILD? (WITH KRISTIN VALERIUS, PH.D.)

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: SCREENTIME + PARENTING

This week we're discussing the impacts of screen time on our children and when (and if) to recognize the need for change in our patterns and usage.


Kristin is a pediatric psychologist who has provided counseling to children, adolescents, and families over the last 12 years. I compassionately work with children and families to address concerns such as behavioral difficulties, strained parent-child relationships, depression, anxiety, school refusal, toileting and feeding difficulties, as well as learning and Attention Deficit disorders. In addition, I provide a specialized focus integrating health concerns with overall daily adjustment including major chronic illnesses, abdominal and GI related disorders, and pediatric pain. I work collaboratively with schools, churches, and child's health care providers to provide integrated care that addresses the broad needs of children and their families.
