Publisher's summary

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders, but don't respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). 

Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices - such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets - can easily overstimulate a child's nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she's discovered that a strict electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child's diagnosis. Offered now in this audiobook, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function - all without cost or medication. Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child's difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.

Insightful

I have already started the reset and have noticed how my children have already started adapting in a positive way. Too bad I did not have this book 15 or even 5 years ago. Better late than never.

Alarmist with few innovative strategies

We all know too much technology time is not great for our children. It wasn't helpful for me to listen to multiple chapters of the doom and gloom associated with our modern world.
I was hoping for more creative strategies than "find alternatives" and "set an example" - both of which are obvious to me.

Important Information

Great information and great tool

The performance I think sounds like a computer reading but the information is so good it just takes you a little longer to read it. This has been a huge help to my family and for myself. I am so glad I took the extra time to read this.

A MUST READ!!!

There’s no way you can listen to this audio & not complete the program! Easy step by step help to make it happen for your family, why it needs to be done & completely understandable for anyone. Is very objective in her opinion and findings! Isn’t just a book pointing fingers- helps a family make their own decisions on what works for them! Fantastic read I have already recommended to every single parent I know whether their children are brand new or 20 😎

Alarming & eye opening

Loved this book. It really brought home the dangers of screen use, even those thought seemingly innocuous. It has also illuminated the changes I need to implement in my own screen consumption. I will return to this book when I need a refresher.

What a difference!

Having faced multiple years of symptoms for my child, we’ve been trying the reset. Within a week, we saw less symptoms, more creativity, more affection. I’m going to listen to it again.
