Setting up your family rules and boundaries around screen use can feel like a minefield. You can bounce from feeling overpowered by the lure of screens, to resenting them entirely. So in this episode we help you create solid and grounded foundations to build a healthy family culture around screens.

In this episode we discuss:

• Rules can be nuanced
• different kids can have different rules
• Forgetting hard and fast rules and moving into connection with where they’re at and what they’re consuming.
• Tuning into regulation and dysregulation
• Welcoming disappointment as a valuable life skill
• Having family discussions around how you spend time online
• Creating guidelines around the when, where and how of screen use
• Understanding screens’ addictive nature and the dopamine fallout that can happen afterwards
• Knowing when to intervene
• Handling pushback
• Managing your own reactions
• Checking in with how you feel afterwards
• Taking responsibility for when our kids’ screen time is a reprieve or a resentment for us
• Reflecting on whether they have the skills to handle each new screen app or game
• Keeping it flexible; ‘no’ now, doesn’t mean ‘no’ late
