Principal Jennifer Tran and pediatrician Dr. Phil Boucher join Jeremy Ekeler to tackle one of the most urgent challenges facing families and schools today: kids, technology, and screens.
Together, they explore how smartphones and personalized digital content have reshaped childhood, why parents were unprepared for the rapid technological shift, and how screen overuse impacts mental health, resilience, social development, and family relationships. They discuss Pius X’s new phone‑free school policy, how it has transformed the hallways, and practical strategies for parents who want to regain control at home without shame or fear.
Rooted in research, lived experience, and a deep love for students’ wellbeing, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and concrete steps for raising healthy, resilient kids in a digital world.
