Is your classroom filled with anxious, distracted students who can't handle minor setbacks? Research shows technology is rewiring their brains, and not in a good way.

In this essential episode, discover the stark difference between phone-free and phone-accessible schools, learn how the "attention economy" deliberately creates addiction, and get practical strategies for every grade level to build resilience and focus without fighting constant battles over devices.

Key Insights:

• Why the "attention economy" is deliberately engineered to hook young minds
• Four neurological impacts: social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction
• Grade-specific strategies that work even without school-wide phone bans
• Evidence-based activities that build resilience through appropriate risk-taking

Whether you're witnessing technology's toll firsthand or concerned about rising student anxiety, these actionable approaches will help you create an environment where students can develop the social skills and emotional regulation they desperately need.
