Episode 37: Raising Kids in a Digital World: Finding Balance with Tracy Foster of Screen Sanity

Listen Later

As working moms, we all wrestle with the pull of screens- for our kids and ourselves. How do we balance the reality of technology with the desire for our children to be captivated by life, not just a device? In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down with Tracy Foster, co-founder and executive director of Screen Sanity, to talk about the challenges and opportunities of raising kids in a digital age. Tracy’s work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, and her team is equipping parents worldwide with tools to navigate technology without letting it take over family life. Together, they dig into questions every parent asks:

  • When should my child get a phone? 
    • How much screentime is too much? 
      • What do I say when my kids push back on-screen limits? 
        • How can I protect my child’s self-esteem in a social media world? 
          • And, how can I give myself breathing room as a mom without defaulting to a tablet? 

            • This is a conversation full of practical ideas, encouragement, and permission to take small, realistic steps toward healthier rhythms for your family. 

            Because at the end of the day, it’s not about eliminating screens altogether. It’s about helping our kids (and ourselves) live fully present, meaningful lives.
