Unintended Consequences
Season 3, Episode 17: John Broderick
On today’s episode, John Broderick candidly shares his own ignorance surrounding mental health when it took up residence in his son. He talks about how we are depriving children of their childhood and the importance of family meals and asks us what the downside is to asking our children how they are really doing.
“Parents need to take ownership of that. I'm sorry to say that they do.. and parents need to put their technology down too. It's not just the kids who are addicted. We're all addicted to technology.”
