Public Speaking
I give talks on how technology shapes attention, motivation and relationships in childhood and adolescence. Drawing on developmental and cognitive psychology—and what I see in real classrooms and families—I translate research into simple practices people can use the next day.
Signature topics
Autonomy in a Tracked World

Attention without the Drama
From cognitive load to distraction: what actually helps learning, and three small changes that improve focus at school and at home.
