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.
