Parents
You do not want to miss this!
Extremely relevant and helpful, especially in a household with boys aged 9 to 16.
Bring your teens!
Do not just say "kids are welcome"—strongly encourage parents to bring their children.
I would like for the school to require student-only sessions. Hearing from an expert, without their parents present, carries greater weight for children.
A grounding reality check.
A great event. Provocative and awesome to do with your kids present.
Amazing! I work in child sexual abuse. Your talk was so helpful and offered a lens into the research background and supported a lot of what we preach to families who are bringing in children who have experienced their sexual abuse from online contact.
Thank you so much for a wonderful talk!
Invaluable! I wish I had seen this when my kids were "the only ones who didn't have a phone or social media.” It is alarming, and I wish that more parents and kids had heard this drum beat.
Dr. Gupta makes you evaluate your own behavior and truly grasp the magnitude of the decisions you make regarding devices.
Insightful and actionable guidance into navigating the AI world, for both my children and me. This talk helps you move toward a life filled with joy, not just dopamine.
Everyone should hear this. It is critical not just for the next generation—but for ours too!
Hearing from a pediatrician who is also a parent made the message relatable and impactful.
Very good information with clear facts and figures from an expert. It really makes you think about your own screen time and how to start reducing it for future generations.
The session encourages meaningful reflection on how to find digital balance. It made me think about how our kids (and I) could use our smartphones more intentionally.
Very informative session—quality, practical information that can truly help my family.
Very helpful information, supported by solid data that motivates real action.
Inspirational and mindset-changing!
This session uses current research and medical evidence to show the impact of technology on our brains and bodies.
It takes a village, and it is helpful to have a group of parents and families aligned in their approach to WMDs.
Very informative and useful—something every person with a phone should attend.
Insightful, and I am ready to bring some of the tips home and take action.
Helpful language and examples for describing smartphones as tools rather than entertainment.
A similar presentation should be offered specifically for kids.
Kids need a session like this as well.
Village to Raise, Colombia
This session was exactly what parents need right now—clear, grounded, and deeply reassuring.
Dr. Gupta brought both clinical expertise and real humanity to a topic that often feels
overwhelming. She explained the impact of screen exposure in a way that was evidence-based
but never alarmist and offered practical, realistic guidance that parents can actually implement.
What stood out most was her ability to acknowledge the emotional reality families are
navigating—the fear of exclusion, the pressure to “keep up,” and the uncertainty about what is
truly healthy—while still holding firm boundaries around child development and well-being.
This was not just informative. It was empowering.
As the founder of Village to Raise, a parent-led movement in Colombia supporting families who
want to delay smartphones and social media, I can say this conversation will continue shaping
our community long after the webinar ended. We are deeply grateful for her time and leadership.
Nidhi addresses a very important topic that affects many people. It is urgent to address the damage our young (and adult) mobile users are experiencing, and Dr. Gupta’s insights on this are very valuable.
There are many useful insights that we can apply to our daily lives to be more present and to find different ways to spend our time.
Provides clarity, a sense of urgency, and actionable guidance.
We were deeply grateful for Dr. Gupta’s generosity and clarity. Our parent community in
Colombia is navigating enormous pressure around screens, early smartphone access, and social
media, and her perspective brought both science and calm to the conversation.
The engagement and registration numbers reflect how urgently families need this kind of
guidance. There is a growing global parent movement that wants to make thoughtful,
developmentally aligned decisions, and her voice is helping move that conversation from fear to
informed leadership.
Many Latin American parent communities are not yet connected to this reality.
