Dr. Randy Kulman—clinical psychologist, founder of LearningWorks for Kids, and creator of Digitally Nutritious—recently joined Danielle on the Chaos & Caffeine ADHD parenting podcast for one of the show’s most nuanced conversations yet about kids, screens, and the brain. Drawing on more than four decades studying how children learn through play, Dr. Kulman digs into why neurodivergent kids are often more intensely drawn to screens, the real connection between dopamine and emotional regulation, and what separates “digital junk food” from genuinely healthy, digitally nutritious tech. It’s not a fear-based, anti-screen lecture—it’s a judgment-free, science-backed look at raising ADHD kids in a world of iPads, gaming, and endless dopamine traps, with practical strategies for setting healthier boundaries without shame or panic. Give it a listen below.
