This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing perfection. You’ll learn how screen time can be a healthy part of your family’s summer (yes, really), how to set age-appropriate boundaries without battles, and why trying to go screen-free might be sabotaging your sanity and your kids’ digital skills.
