About

Researchers are learning more and more about the detrimental effects of too much screentime on our mental health, and especially our children’s.  At the same time, we are gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of playtime for all animals, including humans.

Join us as we bat around the most recent research including the upside of boredom for kids: guests are Dr Michael Rich, director of the Clinic for Interactive Media and Internet Disorders at Boston Children’s Hospital and Professor David Toomey from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst who has just written a new book on why animals play.
