In this episode, Sarah and her guest, Joanie Lamb, child and family expert, discuss the ways our phone apps keep us going back to our phones instead of using other ways to entertain or soothe ourselves. This all has to do with dopamine and can be reversed with a routine dopamine cleanse. Learn the signs of smartphone addiction and hear alarming statistics on human's smartphone use across the globe. And better understand the impact electronics have on our children and how families can set boundaries around mobile devices. You are sure to walk away from this episode with practical suggestions for your own smartphone use.
