Podcast Episode 81: How to Handle Screen Time With Your Kids
How much screen time is too much? This is a question we get so often here at No Guilt Mom!
Many of us are concerned by the amount of time that both our kids are spending on screens as much as ourselves! And then… the pandemic hit in 2020! And suddenly everyone had to be on screens for so many reasons- school, work, entertainment. It’s been impossible to avoid them in the current environment!
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry updated recommendations in Feb 2020 and they recommend that for kids ages 6 and older, we need to encourage healthy habits with screens.
That’s why we have 4 tips to help you figure out how to best handle screen time with your kids in your home- without the GUILT!
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- What “mentoring over monitoring” means
- The importance of empathy
