About this audiobook
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 book, 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.

Truth is not what parents want to hear today... they justify not clearing out all devices because they were so expensive! Ten lines of cocaine is super expensive too and parents would flush the drugs down the toilet in a heartbeat... but keep the devices. Most people with children today want to be left alone and not bothered about being parents... parenting requires effort and the same attention these devices actuate from the adults... therefore the device has more value than the child. It's sad

first I'd like to ask you. does your child play video game or play video games? or Have an electronic device that their more then just homework and when you want their attention they can't give it. what about your self do you find your holding and looking at your phone or computer or tablet and saying "just a minute" to a family member. why dont you take just 5 min open up this book and read just 5 min.. the truth is today's society including adults... are floating off in this bubble into space.

not everyone with a disorder is medicated. Everyone responds different to electronics.
