This Is Destroying Your Child’s Mind

Is social media pushing our young toward screen addiction?

Watch our exclusive episode, only on NTD.

Why does a former Facebook executive block his children from using social media? Why is Apple’s chief executive doing the same?

Is it due to the chemical changes that happen in the brain when one is using these apps—which unnervingly resemble drug addiction?

These days, many children are “on screens” before they can even crawl. Is this just part of living in a high-tech world, or do screens pose a real danger to their health?

And, if so, what can we do to divert them from screen addiction? We take a look on #VitalSigns with Brendon Fallon.
