Listen Later

Screen time—it's one of the most debated parenting topics out there. But instead of an all-or-nothing approach, what if there was a way to make it work for your family without constant battles or guilt?

In this episode, we're breaking it down:

  • The 3 Cs framework to help guide your screen time decisions

  • The 4 screen time rules we started when our kids were young (and still rely on today!)

  • Why not all screen time is created equal—and how to choose better options

  • The screen time setup that reduces meltdowns and keeps it from taking over your day

Whether you're struggling with screen time limits, wondering how much is too much, or just looking for a simple plan that works for your family, this episode will give you practical, realistic strategies you can start using right away.
