Ep 12 - TiLT Parenting with Debbie Reber

May 22, 2018

We're glad to welcome Debbie Reber of TiLT Parenting for Episode 12 of The Screen Smart Podcast.


Debbie is a New York Times bestselling author and the founder of TiLT Parenting, a website, top podcast, and social media community for parents who are raising differently-wired children. Her new book, Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World, comes out in June 2018.


Our conversation with Debbie includes:



  • What it means to be differently wired or "neurodiverse" and how many children can be described this way (you might be shocked!).
  • Whether the increasing number of diagnoses is related to greater awareness or to issues related to technology.
  • How the Reber family manages technology with their differently-wired teenager, and how that has evolved over time.
  • Why she is not usually in favor of banning technology and how she suggests parents handle contentious issues and situations.
  • How she helps her son learn to self regulate screen time.
