114. Screens Took Over Our Summer… Here’s What We’re Doing Now

This summer, screen time in our house went from “just a little here and there” to “are my kids secretly training to be professional gamers?” It was rough, there were battles over devices, arguments between my boys, meltdowns when I said no, and more than a few moments where I wanted to chuck every iPad into the nearest lake.

Now that school is starting, we’re pressing the reset button and doing a full-on screen time detox. In this episode, I’m sharing:

• How our summer screen-time rules slowly spiraled out of control
• The fights, the FOMO, and the meltdowns that followed
• What we’re doing now to set better limits and protect our peace
• Why this new “weekends only” plan is working (most days, anyway!)

If you’ve ever felt like screens are running your house instead of you, this one’s for you. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod your head, and hopefully you’ll leave with some encouragement for your own screen-time reset.

Because let’s be real, screens aren’t going anywhere. But we can set the boundaries our kids need (even when they insist we’re the worst mom ever).
