Navigating the digital world as a parent can feel like charting unknown waters, but fear not! Join us on the Whole Parent Podcast, where we promise to arm you with strategies for managing your child's screen time without the tantrums. As a parent myself, I've faced the same struggles with screen-addicted kiddos. Today, we’ll talk about the brain's dopamine response to screens and reveal constructive ways to help kids ease away from their digital fix, building healthier tech habits along the way.

We all want our children to thrive, and balancing their fascination with screens alongside vital activities like naps and playtime is key. In our latest episode, I share insights on creating a sense of autonomy in your children by involving them in setting screen time boundaries. 

We’ll also explore the effects of screen time on a child's developing brain, ensuring you’re equipped with knowledge and empathy to guide your little ones through their digital day.

Lastly, we'll talk about why completely banning screens is as outdated as a flip phone, so instead let's talk about fostering trust and open communication. I delve into what it means to protect our children in an age where explicit content is just a click away, and how to model balanced tech habits that will serve as the cornerstone of a resilient, tech-savvy family. 

Tune in for an honest and empowering conversation that will leave you feeling more confident as you pilot the parenting controls of our digital age.
