I definitely watched a lot of TV when I was a kid. I remember waking up early on weekends to watch Bugs Bunny and plunking down on the couch when I got home from school to watch Saved By the Bell. We watched a ton of movies and played a lot of video games as kids too.
But here’s the thing…
The TV we watched in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s is NOT the same TV that kids are being fed now.
TV now is engineered to be as addictive as possible, to keep your kids watching and wanting more (just like Social Media).
When your kids throw a tantrum after shutting down the screens, it’s honestly not their fault.
Their little bodies, brains and nervous systems get hooked, and like a drug addict, they can’t help but want more!
The research is undeniable. Jonathan Haidt (author of The Anxious Generation) and many others have been sounding the alarm: kids’ mental health is in crisis, and one of the leading culprits is too much screen time.
Screens are designed to hijack kids’ attention, overstimulate their nervous systems, and leave them restless, anxious, and dependent. It’s no wonder we’re seeing an “anxious generation.”
We saw it in our own son, Sauryn.
When he was little, we introduced screens thinking they were harmless. But we quickly saw the changes — less patience, less creativity, more dysregulation, more tantrums. He went from joyful to miserable in a very short, noticeable span of time.
For a short while, we felt like we lost our sweet little boy.
So we pulled the plug on screen time.
And that’s when we discovered the power of audio stories.
He went from moody to imagining, creating, building, drawing, acting out scenes. His nervous system calmed. His creativity expanded. Family life got easier and more harmonious.
That experience was the seed of Majik Kids.
