ARE YOUR KIDS ADDICTED TO TECHNOLOGY? -- You are not alone! 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀? In this video, I give you 10 Smart Ways to Reduce Screen Time! Smartphones, tablets, video games, computers or TVs!
I know I’m not alone when I say that screens, phones, and electronics have made parenting a much more strenuous task than it was 10 years ago. Many parents are experimenting with a variety of techniques to manage their kids’ use of electronics, such as parental controls to block inappropriate content, with varying success. But the struggle is real, and we need to help each other navigate the electronic candy store that threatens our children’s well-being.
Adults find it difficult to resist the immediate gratification and excitement of phones, social media, and games. How, then, can we expect our children to manage electronics with rationality and reason? Bottom line: We can’t.
Our kids are taught to use computers at a very early age. This has been deemed a good thing because the world as we know it now would cease to operate on many levels if it was taken away. But how much screen time is "TOO MUCH" for our kids?
As parents, we have to set limits and police our kids. This is an exhausting, daunting, and absolutely essential component of being a parent at this time. No fun for us—I know! I’d like to share some of the approaches that have worked for me, but I’m just as eager to get feedback and collect success stories from the frontline of this contemporary crisis.
