NOTE: This episode will not answer every question you have in hopes of finding the *perfect* formula for managing screens and video games at your house.  However, I guarantee you will see them in an entirely new light one hour from now, no matter your child's age.

Mx. Ash Brandin, EdS (they/them) has been a public school educator for over a decade. . After years of research and starting  their Instagram page @thegamereducator,  they have helped over 100,000 families make screen time beneficial for the whole family.

The COVID-19 Pandemic brought forth a reckoning in how we view and interact with screens, especially as parents.   Ash believes screens should be a part of our lives, not the center of our lives and helps caregivers navigate the world of tech using consistent loving boundaries. 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

  • Whether there is "good" screen time and "bad" screen time
  • The brilliance of video games and how to work WITH them
  • The need to sit in the discomfort of prioritizing our own needs as parents

DON'T MISS-

  • The privilege of discovering ourselves so our kids have an easier time doing the same
