Most holistic-minded moms already know screen time is objectively bad and try to limit it or only rely on it as a brief, last-resort. But, just how bad is it really?

Melanie Hempe, mother of four and the founder of the non-profit ScreenStrong, keeps it 100% real with us when divulging the truth about the way screen time is robbing our children of a healthy and happy childhood.

• What effects do interacting with a device have whether it’s a tablet, iPhone, or television on a child’s developing brain, and why should parents think twice about when and whether to introduce screens to their children?
• Is there such a thing as “good” types of screen time or screens in moderation?
• What about low-stimulating shows for short periods of time?

We of course also had to discuss the alarming, modern phenomenon of children glued to iPads while out at restaurants.

In our tech-obsessed society, is it even realistic to expect parents to forego screens for their children such as refusing to give children smartphones for the first 18 years of life?
