The choice to use screens

In this enlightening video, we delve deep into the neurobiological aspects of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and how it influences children's use of screens as a regulation technique. This video aims to shed light on why screen time can be more than just a choice for some children, especially those navigating the complexities of PDA. We'll explore how screens can serve as a crucial coping mechanism, aiding in self-regulation and providing a sense of control.
Key Highlights:
- An overview of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and its neurobiological underpinnings.
- Insight into how screens can serve as a regulatory tool for children with PDA, helping them manage anxiety and avoid demands.
- The balance between beneficial and excessive screen time, and how to identify it.
- Strategies for parents and caregivers to support children with PDA in finding healthy screen time balance while understanding its regulatory role.
This video is designed for parents, educators, therapists, and anyone interested in understanding the nuanced roles screens play in the lives of children with PDA. Our goal is to foster compassion, awareness, and practical strategies to support children in navigating their needs and the digital world.
