Sugar, Screens and Sanity
February is rough. The winter blues are real, the kids are bouncing off the walls, and if your family has managed to dodge the flu, norovirus, and pink eye this season—tell me your secret!
This past weekend, my husband and I got a much-needed break while the grandparents took over. And while I love that my kids get this time with them, it also meant one thing: a weekend filled with sugar and screens.
So today, we’re diving into the ever-evolving world of screens. What’s too much? What actually matters more than time limits? And how do we, as parents, set tech boundaries that actually work?
In this episode, I share:
📱 Why how kids use screens matters more than how long
🧐 The one question I ask my kids (and myself) about screen time
🚫 The simple rule we have about tech in bedrooms (game-changer!)
📵 My own experiment with a digital detox—how it’s going so far
There’s no perfect answer, and we’re all figuring it out together. But sometimes, just being intentional is good enough.
