EPISODE 22: When I ask my communities what is your #1 biggest struggle, guess what I hear a lot?
“Electronic battles”
“Sneaking Electronics”
“My kid’s addicted to their screen!”
“Getting my kid to get off electronics.”
Sound familiar? Trust me, you're not alone. All of us in this digital age ask ourselves:
How much is too much?
What's age-appropriate?
Is screen time harming my child's brain?
So this week, I've got someone who can help us navigate these murky waters. I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce Susan Stiffelman as my guest for this episode.
I can say that Susan is actually the superhero of the parenting world. She's been a family therapist for more than 35 years, and before that, she worked as a teacher. So, she has spent her entire life working with kids.
Susan is the author of the book and podcast “Parenting Without Power Struggles.” She also authored “Parenting With Presence.”
Susan is on a mission to help parents break free from old, ineffective parenting patterns.
In this conversation, we're diving deep into the complexities of parenting in the electronic age.
We'll explore our own beliefs around electronics, delve into the brain science behind screen time, and provide the key to getting your kids off screens. Plus, we'll discuss how electronics aren’t always the enemy (especially for neurodivergent kids) by turning them into a tool.
So don't miss out on this opportunity to learn how to be "the captain of your ship" while also staying compassionate and in tune with your children's needs.
