I used to think that setting strict limits was the answer to my daughter's iPad obsession. But I learned a powerful lesson: I needed to change my own habits first. In this episode, I'm sharing my story and the importance of modeling healthy electronic habits. We'll discuss how to shift from restriction to connection and create a more balanced digital environment for your family.

I admit it's not always easy! I used to be glued to my phone, even while enforcing strict rules for my daughter, Esme. Realizing my behavior contributed to the problem was a wake-up call. We need to engage with our kids, create phone-free zones, and be present during shared screen time. Today, I’ll share some practical tips to help you make these changes and foster a harmonious home. Remember, you're not alone; we all struggle, and it's about progress, not perfection.
