Reducing Screen Time Battles

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

In today's episode, we're diving headfirst into the ever-present challenge of electronics in our children's lives. As parents, we often find ourselves in a balancing act - how much screen time is too much? How do we create a healthy relationship between our kids and their devices, all while keeping the peace at home? 


Today I share with you some practical strategies for navigating this digital landscape, from setting boundaries to fostering a deeper connection with your child. We'll discuss the art of transitioning them away from screens without meltdowns and how building strong connections can naturally reduce their screen time.


Plus, I'll share some secrets to strategically sneak into their digital world to bond over shared interests! Let's tackle this tech dilemma together and find the sweet spot between screens and quality family time.
