Screen Time and The Hidden Struggle for Connection with Your Kids | Tony Martinez

In this episode of Millionaire By Morning, host Rashad Thirlkill sits down with Tony Martinez for a heartfelt conversation about one of the most common modern parenting struggles: screen time—and what it’s really costing us. What if the hardest part of screen time isn’t the device itself, but the quiet fear that your child is drifting further away from you? Tony shares an honest perspective on the emotional weight many parents carry when phones, games, and screens seem to take priority over real connection. Rather than focusing on surface-level solutions, this conversation digs into the deeper issue underneath it all—our desire for presence, connection, and meaningful time with our children. Together, they explore what it means to stay engaged in your child’s life in a world full of distractions, and how parents can shift from simply managing screen time to rebuilding genuine connection. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why screen time struggles are really about connection, not control How to recognize when your child is drifting emotionally Ways to rebuild presence and meaningful time together The role of intentional parenting in a digital world How to prioritize relationship over rules If you're a parent feeling the tension between technology and connection, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most—your relationship with your child. 🎙️ Millionaire By Morning is the podcast where successful entrepreneurs share the strategies, mindset, and systems that build wealth.
