No shame or judgement. But it is possible to make a change and I can help. Comment RESET if you want a calmer, happier home and a more balanced screen-time approach 🙌🏻

And I say this with as much love as possible because it breaks my heart when parents come back saying they wish they would have made different screen time choices.I have worked with 1000s of teens for over a decade as a high school teacher. I’ve spoken to hundreds of parents battling unhealthy screen habits for their kids of all ages.As a teacher I had kids come to me begging me to tell their parents to take their phones away.I saw lunch rooms full of kids sitting there staring at their phones, not able to have a conversation with the person next to them.I had them storm the front of the classroom, shoving each other to be the first to grab their phones at the end of class.I’ve seen them legit walk into walls because they can’t put their phones down while walking through the halls.If your toddler is throwing tantrums about screen time just think about what they will be doing as teens…the habits you set now are what carry through their childhood, into their teen years and beyond.You have the responsibility to set healthy boundaries (not all screen time is created equal) and understand how screens impact YOUR kid (all kids are different).Comment RESET if you want a link to my 5-Step Screen Reset Mini-Course. No shame or judgement. Just helping you set and maintain HEALTHY screen time boundaries 👏🏻

If you’re looking to help jumpstart the independent play comment SFA and I’ll send you a link to learn more about my 50 Screen Free Play Activities guide 🙌🏻Keep in mind that boredom is an opportunity for growth! Here are 3 reasons why boredom is essential for your kids:1️⃣ Boosts Creativity: When kids are bored, they tap into their imagination and come up with new ways to entertain themselves, fostering creativity and innovation.
2️⃣ Builds Independence: Boredom teaches children how to rely on themselves to solve problems and find joy in simple moments, promoting self-sufficiency.
3️⃣ Encourages Problem-Solving: With nothing to do, kids are challenged to think critically and find solutions to fill their time—skills that carry into all areas of life.And yes there will be mess but it will be worth it when your kids can entertain themselves for hours 🙌🏻

Why do we feel like we have to entertain our kids
