Getting Your Child's Screen Time Under C...

Child of the Redwoods
About this episode
We're here today to talk about something that strikes a deep and unresolved fear into the heart of many a Montessori parent: screen time.
 
How much screen time is "too much" is something only you as a parent can decide. What I am delving into today is what to do when you decide it really is too much. Let's get that screen time usage under control! 

Love, 
Aubrey
