🎙️ SPILL THE TEA WITH D & E Episode: Scroll, Sparkle, Repeat: How Short Videos Are Quietly Rewiring Kids’ Brains
What if the biggest changes to our kids’ brains aren’t loud, dramatic, or obvious—but subtle, constant, and happening one swipe at a time?
In this timely and eye-opening episode, Dominique and Erica unpack new research showing how short-form videos on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts may be reshaping attention, sleep, emotional regulation, and motivation in children and teens. From dopamine overload and disrupted sleep to anxiety loops and shrinking attention spans, this conversation gently but clearly explains what’s happening beneath the scroll.
With compassion for kids, parents, teachers, and coaches alike, D & E explore why younger brains are especially vulnerable, what’s getting crowded out (boredom, creativity, daydreaming), and how simple, intentional changes at home can protect developing nervous systems—without fear, shame, or perfectionism.
This is a must-listen for parents, educators, coaches, and anyone wondering why kids seem more tired, distracted, or overwhelmed than ever before. Childhood doesn’t need an algorithm—it needs presence. 💛

☕ Tea of the Day • Dominique: Lemon balm with oat straw — calming the nervous system • Erica: Peppermint green tea — clarity before talking TikTok
