Kindergartners choosing screentime over free play is concerning. Play is crucial for healthy development, while screens encourage sedentary habits. Let’s prioritize real-world playtime for our kids!

Only 14% of preschoolers meet guidelines for exercise, sleep, and screentime. Parents of toddlers should limit screentime and encourage play for healthy growth. Let’s prioritize movement together!

When kids say they’re bored, it’s easy to hand over a device, but that stifles creativity. Boredom can spark innovation! Let’s embrace it as an opportunity for growth instead. Check out my blog for more insights! https://t.co/RblSKHqI9g

Our children are not our friends, and recognizing this is vital for navigating their teen years. While they may resist boundaries, our role is to guide them. In time, they may appreciate our limits and the love behind them.

Relying on apps or filters just scratches the surface. Content moderation isn’t the real solution for managing screentime. We need to focus on building strong relationships and having open conversations about our kids’ online experiences.

Play is the keystone of childhood, as Lenore Skenazy says. It's essential for resilience and problem-solving. By prioritizing play over excessive screentime, we give our kids the tools to navigate life's ups and downs with confidence.

Building trust is crucial when managing screentime with our children. As parents, modeling how to honor our word and respect boundaries helps kids develop a healthy relationship with technology, and a trusting bond with us!
#screentime#parenting#raisingteens
Those parents who seem to have screentime under control aren't sharing the full story. Challenges are common. If you feel judged and alone in this, I understand. Trust your instincts and remember, you’re not alone in this journey!

As a mom and the Screentime Consultant, I see a disconnect between what benefits kids and what tech companies promote. We must prioritize real interactions and limit screens to support healthy development. Let’s advocate for our children’s needs!

The only exception for tech use in education should be a diagnosed learning disability. Big Tech claims kids need devices for 21st-century skills, but that’s misleading. Too much tech harms young children. We must prioritize their well-being over convenience.
