Description:

How do you balance kids’ natural curiosity and imaginative play with the constantly evolving tech and screens? When is too early, or too late to give your teen or tween a smartphone? We dig into this important and necessary conversation today on the podcast with Andrea Davis from Better Screen Time. 

Andrea is a former secondary ed teacher turned screen-time-navigator. She is the founder of Better Screen Time where she shares family-tested ideas from the (tech) trenches as a mom of five. She is on a mission to help parents take the slow tech road.

In this episode: 

  • Teaching smart screen use to your teens and tweens in a healthy way, without shame or fear
  • How modelling our own tech use makes a difference in theirs 
  • Using your intuition when it comes to slow tech in your home, your plan doesn’t have to look like others 
  • How to know if your tweens or teens are ready for a smartphone 
  • Building your child’s internal filter, so you don’t have to rely so heavily on external ones.
