Today, many children are misdiagnosed, for example as ‘bipolar’ or ‘ADHD’, if they have meltdowns or trouble focusing. Even more disturbing, some of these children are put on psychotropic medication unnecessarily, when the real culprit is over-stimulation from electronics. Parents should first educate themselves on the effects of electronic screen media, then consider taking a solid three to four week break–an electronic fast– if their child is having any problems at home, in school, or with peers.
