Does your child have a severe meltdown, scream, or throw a tantrum every time you ask them to turn off their iPad or video game?
For neurodivergent children (Autism, ADHD), highly stimulating screens create a massive dopamine loop. When asked to turn the screen off, their brain feels physically stuck to the activity, triggering Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and severe meltdowns. The Stuck Brain is a neuro-affirming picture book that explains the dopamine loop to kids using the metaphor of a Glue Monster-removing the shame and modeling actionable transition strategies!
Join Sam as he discovers two proactive Bravery Tools to unstick his brain:
- The Magic Clock: Using a visual sand timer to make time visible, allowing the brain to mentally prepare for the transition.
- The Tablet Garage: Instead of an abrupt cut-off, putting the tablet to sleep in a designated box for closure and control.
Perfect for parents, teachers, and occupational therapists looking for a gentle, empowering way to end the screen time battle. Includes interactive drawing pages and a Parent Guide!
