Brain vs. Screen: How Screen Time Affects Our Brains

Using the comparison between screen habits and too much sugary food, Bethany Barton introduces how dopamine relates to our relationship with screens. The book connects excess screen time with experiences such as feeling tired, angry, or frustrated, and with difficulty controlling impulses. It also addresses how to recognize when screen use has become too much, giving the subject a practical focus alongside its introduction to brain responses. Presented as a picture book for young readers, it frames technology use through everyday feelings and choices.
