Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D., author of Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hi-Jacking Our Kids, gave details to HLN host Michaela Pereira Sept. 6.
Kardaras, a psychotherapist, said too much “screen time” on cellphones and computers is having a negative impact on the developing brains of children. He was interviewed by host Michaela Pereiri.
A two-page feature outlining his concerns ran in the Aug. 28 New York Post.
Kardaras was also interviewed Sept. 6 by Fox & Friends.
He will speak tonight (Sept. 8) at 7 p.m. at the Sag Harbor Library. He will appear at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton Sept. 22.
The Westhampton Free Library has scheduled a talk by him sometime in March 2017, the month during which the National Day of Unplugging will be held. It calls for reduction in the time spent on cellphones and computers. The 2017 observance is March 3-4.
Susan LaVista, director of the Hampton Bays library, has been asked whether Kardaras has been invited as a speaker but has not yet responded.
He has also been interviewed by CNN/Headline News (HLN) and has an interview scheduled with Katie Couric, Yahoo global news anchor. More than 30 radio shows have also interviewed him in recent days.
While “Glow Kids” is focuses on the psychological impact of excessive cellphone and computer use, the book covers the physical impact on pages 128-131. “In a very real sense, the radiation and EMF effects could be much worse than any of the psychological or even neurological damage,” he says.
