🚨 Attention, caregivers! Did you know that binge-watching video after video may be quietly damaging focus in kids (and maybe adults, too)? 🎥

A recent article from CHADD explores how continuous, endless streams of video content can undermine attention span by overstimulating the brain in ways that make it harder to concentrate, resist distractions, and stay focused on tasks.

Key takeaways:

Overconsumption of video can train the brain to expect constant novelty, which hurts when tasks are slower or less stimulating.

Kids exposed to long periods of screen/video time may show more attention lapses; even short breaks or switching contexts are becoming harder.

It’s not just about how many hours, but also how we view — autoplay, short clips, fast cuts all add up.

Simple strategies like limiting continuous viewing, choosing videos more intentionally, and inserting breaks can help protect and rebuild attention.

Want to help kids (or yourself!) stay sharp? 🧠 Let’s talk about balancing video use and attention — much more than “turning off the screen.”

✨ Co-Regulation: The Bridge to Self-Regulation ✨

Our kids don’t just “pick up” self-regulation skills on their own… they learn them through us first. When we sit close, offer calm presence, and model soothing strategies, their nervous system begins to borrow our calm. Over time, that external support turns into their internal toolkit. 💜

So next time your child is overwhelmed, remember: your steady presence isn’t “rescuing” them! It’s teaching their brain how to handle big feelings. One day, they’ll be able to do it on their own because you first did it with them. 🌿

Children aren’t born knowing how to calm themselves — self-regulation is a skill that develops over time.

Before they can do it alone, they need co-regulation: a caring adult helping them feel safe enough to settle.
