This is an insightful conversation with Emily, a screentime aka tech intentional consultant. Screentime is a challenge for most of us in the modern world. As parents we can't avoid the additional challenges that this brings. How much screen time is too much? At what age is it okay for our kids to have a social media account? And what about phones? How does screentime impact their behaviour? "Being tech-intentional™ means only using screen-based technology that enhances, nurtures, and supports yourself, your child, or your family in a way that aligns with your values, and resisting screen use that interferes with healthy mental, physical, cognitive, and emotional development." Emily Cherkin, The Screentime Consultant The issue of screen access and the desire for kids to have their own devices is a battlefield in many homes and added stress for parents. Emily has some great advice to offer and if you have young kids, now is a great time to start thinking about solutions and building a framework around screentime and access to the internet. It also helps that both parents are on the same team - so this podcast episode is for both parents!
