In this episode, Ashley Osinski discusses the impact of technology on parenting, particularly focusing on the concept of 'missed bids for connection' between parents and children. She emphasizes the importance of being emotionally available and present, rather than just physically present, and shares strategies for creating device-free zones to foster better connections. Ashley encourages parents to reflect on their habits and make small changes to model presence over distraction, ultimately aiming to raise more connected and screen-wise children.
