There’s so much discussion about kids and screens — how much is too much, what’s healthy, and so on. I began to tune out all the advice a while ago because it was just another weight in the mental load of parenting, and it often led to more guilt than anything helpful.
Yet, I still noticed when my kids became dysregulated after certain types of screen time, and I didn’t want that for them or for the rest of the household. Rather than trying to figure it out on my own, I brought our kids into the conversation. What they brought up was eye-opening and really helpful.
