Navigating modern parenting can feel overwhelming in a world of constant screen stimulation, where giving your kid a phone or tablet can be an easy quick fix to the “I’m bored” tantrum. Psychologist and Sydney Observer contributor Dr. Belinda Khong believes the key to raising more balanced, mindful kids is embracing boredom in children as a pathway to creativity, independence, and emotional resilience.

Belinda joined Campbell on Tuesday Daily to discuss why excessive screen time is damaging children and strategies that promote healthier brain stimulation.
