Screens are everywhere - from soothing toddlers with videos to using educational apps for preschoolers. While technology offers convenience, it also raises deep questions about childhood, attention, creativity, and connection. As digital content becomes a default part of parenting, many are wondering: what are we losing in the process?

Many young parents find themselves caught in a difficult place — wanting to raise mindful, present children, yet overwhelmed by the lure and pressure of screens. Is it even realistic to imagine a screen-free or screen-minimal childhood? How do we manage meltdowns, boredom, or even guilt when saying no to digital entertainment?

In this inspiring conversation, we sit down with Junnifa Uzodike, founder of one of Africa's leading Montessori school - Fruitful Orchard Montessori and co-author of The Montessori Baby and the Montessori Child. A mother of four and globally respected Montessori guide, Junnifa shares how she has raised children who are conscious and not glued to digital devices — and are flourishing. Through her grounded, compassionate approach, she offers practical guidance for parents who want to embrace digital minimalism and reconnect with the true joys of parenting.
