Dopamind Resources : Helping Kids (and Adults too!) Navigate Tech in The Digital Age
DopamindKids.org is a non-profit I co-founded with a social media marketing CEO and a child psychologist. Here's the gist: kids know all about the differences between healthy food and junk food, right? Well at Dopamind we teach them the difference between healthy tech and junk tech. No judgement. Just knowledge. And in the same way kids understand how their body & mind might feel after a giant breakfast of cotton candy (sugar crash, tummy ache, etc.) we're arming them with the knowledge of how the body and mind often feels after a hearty helping of junk tech ("dopamine overload" can cause anxious, aggressive, or overwhelmed feelings.) Because kids are smart, and if we arm them with facts, they can make powerful choices.
