Should You Limit Screen Time or Do This Instead—Mighty Parenting 211 with Tiffany Shlain

These days it seems like every time you turn around, your teen has their face in their phone—or tablet, or laptop, or GameBoy...you get the picture. Our lives revolve around electronics and we can't imagine being without them. Fun interaction with your family becomes a chore to arrange. How can we get ourselves and our teens to take a break from screen time without simply banning tech use in our homes? Tiffany Shlain joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler to discuss the impacts of technology on our brain functions, why devices are so easy to get attached to, and how to get some regular tech-free time with our kids without removing screens from our lives entirely.
