Dr. Wadsworth, known as doctorwadsworth on TikTok, is a doctor and psychiatrist with a substantial following. He implemented a structured approach to managing screen time for his seven children, requiring the completion of tasks before accessing devices. He noticed the negative impacts of excessive screen time on his children’s mood and behaviour, prompting him to take action. Despite initial resistance, he engaged his children in outdoor activities and open communication about the effects of screen time. He emphasises the importance of adapting disciplinary approaches to each child’s temperament and fostering a loving relationship to facilitate effective communication about screen time limits.
