The Age‑by‑Age Screen Plan That Protects Childhood and Prepares Kids for Tech

This episode unpacks what “screen‑free in a world full of tech” can realistically look like from birth to the teen years, without shame or perfectionism. Drawing on current research and clinical guidelines, we walk through a phased timeline: 0–7 as a mostly screen‑free foundation, 7–11 as guided use, 11–14 as the “training wheels” stage, and 14+ as gradual digital independence. You’ll hear practical scripts, real‑life scenarios, and protective strategies for language, sleep, mental health and family connection—so you can set tech boundaries that honour both your child’s development and the reality of modern life.Read the blog post:⁠⁠⁠MotherooHQ.com⁠⁠⁠Follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/motherooHQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/motheroopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@motherooHQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠twitter.com/motherooHQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/motherooHQ⁠
