SUMMARY

We’ve all been there. You give a “five-minute warning,” but no matter how many times you say it, they look at you in surprise when it’s time to turn off the iPad or stop playing video games. The argument quickly escalates, right? It starts with negotiation, which spirals into a meltdown, and you wonder if you should just take away screens for the next 100 years. As parents, we can create an environment where we are proactive AS A FAMILY regarding screen time. In this episode, we will give you some tips we use in our homes to manage screens in a healthy way.
