Episode notes
Manage Early Screen Time Intentionally
- Limit screen time by setting a daily benchmark and accepting natural variation for sick or busy days.
- Use shared TV in a common area and avoid giving children individual unlocked devices under six.
Lock Devices And Use Tech Strategically
- Lock down devices and treat tech as a privilege rather than a right for young children.
- Ask what tasks you need to accomplish and use screen time strategically, not as constant entertainment.
Start Chores Small And Teach Why
- Teach the reason for chores by framing them as stewardship and part of family life.
- Start tiny tasks early, use picture chore charts, assign specific small jobs, and make music part of cleaning.
