"Can We Watch This?" Parenting Screens Without Panic
In this warm and witty crossover episode of the Faith in Parents and Faith in Kids for Kids podcasts, Ed, Amy, and Jam dive into one of the most common questions parenting seem to be facing every day... "can I watch this?".
They discuss what it means to “choose the wallpaper” of your home — shaping the tone and values behind what your family watches. Expect stories about Buddhist cartoons, tearful cinema trips, and the joy of discovering shows you can genuinely enjoy together.
Together, they discuss:
- How to balance shared viewing and solo screen time
- Why it’s okay to let kids be a little scared sometimes
- How to spot opportunities for spiritual conversations after films
- Setting healthy boundaries around screens and smartphones
- The freedom of remembering: you’re the parent — you set the wallpaper.
