Why screen time ISN’T the enemy | Ash Brandin

I asked you on Instagram on @zoeblasky what challenges you were facing right now and so many of you told me that screen time was a huge struggle for you.  You said you feel guilty about taking it off your children, confused about age-appropriate games and worried about safety and the amount of screen time your little ones were getting. As we come into the Christmas holidays, I feel like screen time in my house is only going to increase, and I want to feel less guilty and more empowered.  I have found for us this week an incredible screen expert called Ash Brandin known as @the.gamer.educator -  they help guide families to have a relationship with screens and video games that benefits everyone. This episode has massively changed how I have handled screen time in my house and so I know it is going to help you too.  You’re going to learn:  The truth about screen time and dysregulation  Why ending screen time often ends in tears, and what to do about it  The surprising way to keep your children safe on YouTube How to help children be responsible for their own screen time y You’re going to love this episode.
