Back to EpisodesFrom TV to iPads: How Kids’ Screen Time Is Changing & What It Means for Parents
Description
A new study shows that kids 8 and under still average 2.5 hours of screen time daily, but now iPads have replaced TV as their go-to device. So, what does this mean for parents? In this episode, Kate & Anne break down:
✅ How iPad time is different from passive TV watching (more interactive, but also more risks).
✅ The impact of personalized content, endless scrolling, and on-demand access for young kids.
✅ How to set screen time boundaries without constant battles (or feeling like the bad guy).
✅ Simple strategies to balance tech use while keeping kids engaged in offline activities.
As technology shifts, our parenting strategies need to evolve too! Tune in for a real, relatable convo about screens, boundaries, and finding what works for your family.
