by Victoria L. Dunckley, M.D. — 

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason.

Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder or autism-spectrum disorder.

They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects.

Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, Dunckley, an integrative child psychologist, has pioneered a four-week program to treat a frequent underlying cause — electronic-screen syndrome.

She specializes in working with children and families who have failed to respond to previous treatments.

In her work with more than 500 children, teens and young adults diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, 80 percent showed marked improvement after completing her four-week program presented in this book.

Interactive screens, including those on video games, laptops, cell phones and tablets, overstimulate a child’s nervous system.

While virtually no one in today’s connected world can completely shun electronic stimuli, Dunckley shows how the most vulnerable among us — our children — can and should be spared their damaging effects.
