Are Screen Time Apps Parenting Your Kids? Time for a Custody Battle
Are screen time apps quietly taking over your role as a parent? In this episode, I’m exploring a harsh truth: our kids are watching us more than we think, and screen time is stealing the moments that matter most.
You’ll hear:

A real-life story that made me rethink how children learn by watching adults
What Dr. Jean Clinton and Jonathan Haidt say about how screens are rewiring childhood
How screen time affects your child’s self-esteem, mental health, and ability to connect
Why one minute of intentional connection can make all the difference  
This isn’t about guilt. It’s about growing stronger together—one small shift at a time.

Key Points 
✅ Kids mirror adult behaviour—what they see is what they learn ✅ Screen time is linked to anxiety, loneliness, and depression in children ✅ Connection in the early years shapes brain development and emotional strength ✅ Screens aren’t just distracting—they’re replacing vital moments of bonding ✅ You don’t need to be perfect, just present ✅ Small daily shifts, like a one-minute check-in or screen-free dinner, rebuild trust ✅ Assertive, calm responses (not power struggles) teach kids emotional regulation ✅ Boundaries around screens must be modelled, not just taught ✅ Research shows chores boost kids' self-esteem, because they feel valued ✅ Presence is a gift—one your kids will remember more than any app or device
