Q&A: Is it okay for screen time "rules" to go out the window on travel days?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

2:46 - Travel days can be free-for-alls when it comes to kids and screens - and that's okay.

7:10 - Incorporating a "brain break," a "snack break," and a "reading break" into your travel routine.

10:29 - Context switching can be difficult for children and is often something we need to help them build skills for, rather than expecting them to just be able to do it on their own.

12:08 - Dr. Rebecca shared some reflections of her own vulnerable parenting moments in real-time - sharing how even this conversation was kicking up feelings of shame and defensiveness, and how she worked through them.

16:14 - How to be kinder to ourselves and make mindset shifts when things don't go quite as planned.

20:58 - Modeling appropriate screen use can be one of the most effective forms of teaching (but we don't have to do it perfectly all the time to still have an impact!)
