Parenting Boys in a Screen-Obsessed World with Amber Trivedi
In this thoughtful episode of The Gentle Year, I sit down with Amber Trivedi — a parent, leader, and lifelong learner — to talk about parenting in a world where screens dominate so much of our children’s lives.
Amber shares how the skills she’s honed as an employer and manager — listening deeply, allowing space to process emotions, and seeking to understand before inserting her own perspective — have shaped her approach to raising three boys. From navigating screen addiction and the emotional toll of online communication, to encouraging live interaction and human connection, Amber offers honest reflections on both the challenges and the breakthroughs.
We also discuss generational shifts in parenting, the importance of curiosity and patience, and how fostering open conversations can strengthen trust and resilience in children.
