Screens Down, Look Up
The Straits Times
Synopsis: Join us for a five-part limited-edition podcast series by The Straits Times from Nov 2-30, 2026, where we discuss the challenges of raising kids in a world that's always plugged in.Every parent knows the feeling of the digital tug-of-war. You’re exhausted, the kids are restless and the glowing screen seems like the only way that can get them to be still. We’re not here to tell you how bad phones are and to put them down. We want to sit down with experts and parents to unpack the realities of raising children, listen to what the science is saying about kids and screens, and have honest conversations about what childhood looks like today in a world that’s always plugged in. If you’re a parent wanting more connection, more play and fewer screen battles, this is the right place for you.Host: Elisha TusharaProduced and edited by: Studio+65 and Fa'izah SaniExecutive producers: Ernest Luis and Amelia TengA podcast by The Straits Times, SPH Media.
