"Isn’t it okay to let our guard down during the holidays? After all, everyone needs a little break—we don’t need to be so strict."

Join Melanie and Dr. Stacey as they navigate the delicate balance of screen time moderation during the holiday season. While loosening our grip on strict rules may seem tempting, they delve into the nuanced discussion of whether it's truly acceptable to let our guard down during this festive time.
