About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of managing children's screen time and setting healthy digital habits.

We're talking about one of the hardest parts of parenting right now: screens. This episode explores the complexities of managing our children's screen time, the importance of setting boundaries, and how parents can navigate the digital world to foster healthier habits. Are our kids addicted to their phones? Are we? How do you teach healthy habits when technology is changing faster than any of us can keep up? From screen time meltdowns and endless notifications to AI, deepfakes, Snapchat, online misinformation, and the importance of boredom, we're unpacking what it actually means to parent in a digital world. We also talk about why boundaries aren't punishment, why kids often become more connected when their phones are put away, and how helping them build healthy digital habits today can set them up for success tomorrow.
