We are finding ourselves swimming agains a strong current , trying to navigate a terrain that often threatens the relationship we have with our children.
« My children hate me whenever I set boundaries , this doesn’t feel right , does it ?», a parent asked during today’s Q&A.
«I agree, It is frustrating AND draining at the same time , I replied...
AND our kids are developmentally meant to push boundaries to experiment with their independence.
They also NEED our support & guidance in engaging with screens in a disciplined fashion (screens are designed to be addictive).
So when we work on establishing a healthy screen-routine, it’s about becoming clear in our own mind on the WHY & HOW.
Clarifying for ourselves, « WHY do I feel very strongly about protecting my children’s mental health? »
« What’s important to me as a parent? »
« HOW MUCH screen time is enough and what’s unhealthy? »
DEFINING, _timing, content, duration, frequency, device type_ to shape a brain compatible screen-time routine.
It really is a game changer, when we establish a clear, consistent & healthy routine, which reduces stress in the house and allows enough time for connection, real life activities & boredom throughout the day.
Reach out if this feels important to you, we can tackle it together!
