53. How to Get Kids off Screens (Ages 5-12), and WHY it's so important

Sustainable Parenting

Are your kids glued to their screens?
Do you feel like your in frequent debates over whether they can watch “ONE more show” or play a video game “JUST a few more minutes”?...
I know this battle all too well, and this episode is focused on giving you the exact steps to set tech limits (and keep them), and the valuable statistics on WHY it's so important.
The numbers are really alarming, when we really take a look. Overuse of screens has directly correlated to increasing rates of depression and anxiety among the 5-12 age group, and beyond.
So this is no small matter.
But armed with our discussed strategies for age-appropriate screen time and realistic kind/firm rules for tech use, you'll be empowered to get your kids back into real-world connections and healthier habits.
Expect to walk away with tools that ensure your new family guidelines stick.
By the time you finish listening, you will know:

✨Why kids need to have less screen time (what's the cost of being addicted to tech)?
✨How to SET and MAINTAIN technology boundaries with love and consistency.
✨A game plan that tackles resistance head-on, affectionately dubbed the 'extinction burst.'
