353 - How to Be a Tech-Intentional Family with The Screentime Consultant, Emily Cherkin, MEd
Today’s tech is not the same as the Saturday morning cartoons we grew up with.
It’s faster, stickier, and designed to hijack attention, delay development, and disrupt regulation.
And most of us are just trying to keep up—while feeling totally overwhelmed.
In this conversation, I’m joined by The Screentime Consultant herself, Emily Cherkin, a former middle school teacher turned national advocate for tech-intentional parenting.
With humor, deep empathy, and zero judgment, she’s helping us rethink the role of screens in our kids’ lives—and our own.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by how much your kids (or you!) are on screens—this one is a must-listen.
We’re not anti-tech. But we are pro-child. And that means learning how to use tech in a way that honors real developmental needs, protects relationships, and puts the nervous system first.
In today’s episode, we cover:
- Why today’s tech is rewiring kids’ brains (and what you can do about it)
- The hidden harms of educational technology (yes, even at school)
- How to start conversations with your kids and their teachers about screen use
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this too much?” or “How do I set better boundaries without losing my mind?”—this conversation is for you.
Your intuition is spot on. And today’s episode? It’s the guidance you’ve been craving.
Press play and let’s get clear on what’s actually best for our kids—and how to lead the way with calm, courage, and intention.
