170. Screenwise with Devorah Heitner: How to juggle technology and kids!

Today's episode is dedicated to addressing the number one requested topic: screen time and our children. With the rise of technology and the numerous devices available, it's natural for us to feel overwhelmed and concerned about the impact screens are having on our kids. Do you ever feel guilty about letting your children watch television or use their devices, even though you don't feel the same way about listening to a podcast or audiobook? Our guest today, Devorah Heitner, is here to help us answer our most pressing questions and ease the nervousness we feel around screen time. Devorah is a Ph.D. who studied media, technology, and society at Northwestern University and works with communities, schools, and companies to raise tech-savvy children. She is the author of the best-selling book "Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive and Survive in Their Digital World" and is here to offer practical advice, not add more shame or guilt to our already complex relationship with screens. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn about managing screen time for our children.
