TPP 012: A Conversation with 11-year-old Asher About Managing & Tracking Screen Time
b"In this special kid\\u2019s POV edition, Asher and I talk about screen time. Like many families with children (differently-wired or not), the issue of screen time \\u2014 how much, what kind, and when \\u2014 is something we are constantly grappling with. And because like many other differently-wired kids, Asher is really into the games and projects he\\u2019s got going on in his virtual world, we\\u2019ve struggled to come up with an approach that feels good for Derin and me as parents while also helping Asher learn how to be more responsible for his time and behavior online (and after he shuts down).\\nIn this episode, Asher and I detail our current approach for tracking screen time, which we co-designed in such a way that it will help him learn to track his own time, set intentions for how he will spend his time, and stay emotionally regulated both while online and when it\\u2019s time to get off (that's the goal, anyway).\\n\\xa0Debbie Reber is the founder of Tilt and the host of the Tilt Parenting Podcast. 11-year-old Asher is Debbie\\u2019s child and is regularly featured on the podcast.
