Healthy Screen Time Habits for kids (Podcast 534)

Moms often have questions about healthy screen time habits, so I decided to do 2 episodes on this topic. Today we will discuss healthy screen time habits for kids 0-12. In the next episode, we will cover healthy screen time habits for teens.  Creating healthy screentime habits isn’t just about time management. As we will find out today, there is much more to consider. You will not want to miss this one! It's bold! Find out: Why screentime is the opposite of what a child needs Why iPads are one of the worst inventions ever Why kids are experiencing anxiety as early as 8-10 yrs old (or younger) Why co-viewing is always best What happens to our kids' brains after 30 minutes on screens Should we use screen time as a reward? What are effective and meaningful rewards? Why keeping our kids off screens is not sheltering them Why it's easy to underestimate the amount of time our kids are actually spending on screens Is there a connection between easy access to screens and addiction? Is screentime a neutral activity? How do video games affect our kids' brains? Does the record level of kids with ADHD have anything to do with screens?
