Screentime as Dessert: Reclaiming Children from Device Overload 

Dr. Kimberly Harrison

Fielding is proud to celebrate our Clinical Psychology alum, Dr. Kimberly B. Harrison, on the release of her latest book, Screentime as Dessert: Reclaiming Children from Device Overload.

In a world dominated by technology, how do you know how much is too much, what is appropriate, and when parents should require a change in technology habits? What can parents do to instill a balanced lifestyle in their children? How does overuse of screens impact development of resiliency, social skills, and family relationships? Dr. Harrison’s book is a much-needed resource that addresses these concerns, offering practical advice on how parents can instill a balanced lifestyle in their children.

Screentime as Dessert explores the impact of excessive screen use on children’s development, including its effects on resilience, social skills, and family relationships. Dr. Harrison, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with parents, children, and teens, provides strategies for integrating technology in a healthy way and fostering non-tech habits that encourage connection, maturity, and independence.

She speaks locally and nationally to provide insight and wisdom on topics which get in the way of children being their best selves. Dr. Harrison is a well-known researcher and presenter on the topics of screentime, ADHD, executive functioning, learning and emotional issues, autism spectrum disorders and parenting.
