Feeling guilty every time you hand your kid a tablet? You’re not alone. In this refreshingly real conversation, we break down the shame spiral around kids and screens — and show you how to finally drop it for good. Because, believe it or not, the research on using gamification in education is incredibly positive.

Our guest, Ash Brandin — better known online as The Gamer Educator and author of the bestselling book Power On: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family — shares how parents can rethink “good” and “bad” screen time, set healthy boundaries, and even spot hidden learning moments in video games.

Get ready to feel confident (and guilt-free!) about your family’s tech habits again.
