Why Screen-Free Parenting is a Cool Idea (But It Won't Work) with Dr. Katie Davis

Welcome to the No Guilt Mom podcast! In this episode, we are chatting with Dr. Katie Davis, an associate professor and director of the Digital Youth Lab at the University of Washington! Dr. Davis draws on her expertise in developmental science and design research on the role of technology in child development. Listen in to learn how to create an appropriate and balanced approach to technology when it comes to raising your kids. 

In this episode, we talk about why screen time recommendations should be based on your child and their developmental stage, as well as the context in which they use technology, how we as parents can use technology with their children to enhance their learning and engage in joint media engagement, and how to be mindful of the messages you send about technology use to your children and how to aim for a balanced approach.
