When Screens Go Dark: Why Tech Limits Can Set Kids Free
Podcast: Celebrate Kids Podcast with Dr. KathyPublished On: Fri Dec 12 2025
Description: As Australia enacts sweeping social media restrictions for kids under 16, parents everywhere are asking the same question: Is limiting tech actually healthy, or just disruptive? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore what happens when screens are removed, why kids' intense reactions may signal dependence rather than harm, and how parents can lead tech fasts with wisdom, clarity, and confidence. Drawing from research, real family experience, and Scripture, this conversation reframes digital detox not as punishment, but as liberation—an opportunity to rebuild rhythms, restore relationships, and form character that lasts far beyond the screen.
