Her comparison of screen-based dopamine to gambling is presented as her professional framing. The episode references childhood trauma and child development in a general, non-graphic, supportive way. You're sitting with your child as they tell you about their day, and your mind drifts to a notification, a missed meeting, the laundry. You nod and say the right thing. Later, a small ache asks: was I really there? Dr. Brandi Hawk, a clinical psychologist, joins Sana on The Mindful Living to explore what mindful time with a child really means. Not perfect or productive time, but the small moments a child remembers most. About the Guest: Dr. Brandi Hawk is a clinical psychologist with 15 years working with children and families affected by trauma. She co-developed the evidence-based program PC-CARE, runs Red Leaf Psychology, and co-hosts The Nerdy Psychologist Book Club podcast. Key Takeaways: Young children care less about big things and more about whether they have your presence. Parenting is genuinely hard; naming that honestly can free you to find real joy in it. Often the answer is to do less, not more; kids need boredom and unstructured time. Screens can hook a child's brain; she likens the dopamine loop to gambling, so be thoughtful. Structure and boundaries still matter; within them, you can be far more spacious.
