Description

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, Tania Johnson and Tammy Schamuhn explore the growing trend of children watching screens during lunchtime at school. Together, they unpack how this shift impacts social connection, emotional regulation, and nervous system health—and what’s lost when mealtime becomes screen time. As psychologists, play therapists, and moms, they also bring deep empathy for educators navigating packed classrooms and limited resources. Rather than blame, this conversation offers gentle, practical steps toward reclaiming lunchtime as a meaningful moment of rest, connection, and community for kids.
