- Quality Mic Needed
Your information is so important that I hope you’ll take this suggestion knowing there are good intentions here:
Honestly- The current audio quality is a real distraction.
The quality of your show would be enhanced exponentially with a minimally good microphone set up.

I heard about Screenstrong through the Bethany Hamilton podcast and found Screenstrong. The resources and this podcast have resulted in my family giving up screens (including Fortnite and YouTube for my 11 and 9 year old). This content has changed the whole course of our family. Thank you for everything that you do.

This podcast has inspired me so much over the last couple of years. I love hearing Melanie’s insights, perspectives and lived experience as she was in the trenches- a very deep one a that, and is now committed to educating, advocating & spreading awareness. ❤️
Apple Podcasts5JMA!United Statesa year ago - Great podcast but…
I’m a big fan of Screen Strong but disappointed with your views on screens and neurodivergent kids. Episode 158 suggested replacing screens with outdoor play (great), playing with a ball, doing board games, etc. If only it was that easy! Until you’ve parented a child with PDA or one who is in autistic burnout, you have no idea how hard this is. We have tried all of the above and much, much more. I don’t believe in unlimited screen time for ND kids like many suggest but think there needs to be so... more
