Every parent feels it, this quiet tension around screens, phones, and how much is too much.

In this episode of The Knightcast, Mr. Holland sits down with pediatrician Dr. Chris Gill, MD to unpack what’s really happening to children growing up in a screen-saturated world.

From skyrocketing anxiety rates to the loss of play-based childhood, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how technology is reshaping the way kids think, sleep, relate, and develop, and why many of the most serious challenges facing students today are happening online, not in person.

But this isn’t fear-based.

It’s practical. It’s honest. And it’s deeply hopeful.

You’ll hear:

• Why screen time is directly impacting sleep, attention, and behavior
• How social media is driving comparison, anxiety, and identity confusion
• What’s really happening in the developing brain of a child
• Why many parents feel stuck—and how to take back ground
• Simple, actionable ways to lead your home with intention

At its core, this episode is a call for parents to step back into their role, not perfectly, but faithfully, and to raise children grounded in truth, presence, and real-world connection.

Because while you can’t control the culture…

You can shape your home.
