Excessive screen exposure during critical developmental periods may alter neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and reward pathways, influencing attention, behavior regulation, and emotional control. Learn evidence-based strategies to promote healthy, balanced technology use.
In today’s digital environment, children are exposed to unprecedented levels of screen-based stimulation during key stages of brain development. Emerging research indicates that even brief screen exposure can reduce activation in the prefrontal cortex—responsible for executive function, impulse control, and decision-making—while simultaneously increasing activity in dopaminergic reward pathways associated with habit formation and addictive behaviors.
Over time, this imbalance may impact attention, emotional regulation, and behavioral maturity. The athletes loose focus during training, reduced performance and lower discipline and motivation.
This live webinar provides caregivers, educators, and advocates with research-informed insights and practical, developmentally appropriate strategies to support healthy technology use while preserving cognitive and emotional development.
Join us for this eye opening event on May 19th, and change your child's and athlete's future.
