Episode 34 - Is Screen Free Parenting Easier And Does It Even Matter




The Brave Yes show

Summary: In my latest Abundant Mama Show Podcast I'm talking with the husband-wife duo behind Screen-Free Parenting, a counterculture website for parents who are trying to raise young kids with very little -- if any -- screens. What I love about this podcast is that they provide scientific evidence for why young children should have very little access to screens and why introducing it at age-appropriate levels is essential. We can argue all day about how much is too much or what children should have access to once they are online. But the proof in this podcast is that going completely screen-free might be better -- for your family and your kids. Highlights in this Show * What exactly do they mean by screen-free parenting? * How are families impacted more now than ever by screens? * Are screens addicting -- or as addicting as heroin as one viral internet post claims. * Power struggles ... and what they mean in a family. * How do we introduce screens and when -- and what's the best way to moderate their use? * Is screen-free parenting EASIER? Or not? * How do we as parents model screen behaviors and use?
