Why screen time ISN’T the enemy | Ash Brandin

I asked you on Instagram on @zoeblasky what challenges you were facing right now and so many of you told me that screen time was a huge struggle for you. 

You said you feel guilty about taking it off your children, confused about age-appropriate games and worried about safety and the amount of screen time your little ones were getting. As we come into the Christmas holidays, I feel like screen time in my house is only going to increase, and I want to feel less guilty and more empowered. 

I have found for us this week an incredible screen expert called Ash Brandin known as @the.gamer.educator -  they help guide families to have a relationship with screens and video games that benefits everyone.

This episode has massively changed how I have handled screen time in my house and so I know it is going to help you too. 

You’re going to learn: 

• The truth about screen time and dysregulation 

• Why ending screen time often ends in tears, and what to do about it 

• The surprising way to keep your children safe on YouTube

• How to help children be responsible for their own screen time y
