How to keep your kids from turning into screentime zombies
b'
Anybody else lie when their pediatrician asks how much screentime the kids have every day?
I\'m afraid I opted for honesty at Maddox\'s three-year checkup, and the pediatrician was justifiably concerned with my answer. His words? "Screentime is slowly crushing our children\'s souls."
He wasn\\u2019t overtly judge-y about it. But then again, he raised his kids when we didn\\u2019t have a supercomputer in our pockets ready to hand off to our kids the minute they get cranky in a restaurant or on a road trip.\\xa0
Galvanized into action, I enlisted Anson\'s (and Google\'s) help in designing a system for the kids to manage their own screentime. And of course, there\'s a lesson in here for adults as well.
What is slowly crushing your soul? Is it screentime robbing you of precious hours that would be better put towards working on your dreams? Is it self-talk that makes you play small instead of reach for bigger things? Whatever it is, you and I need to work on designing a system to manage that soul crushing nonsense so that we can live into our purpose. Today\'s episode is an exploration on both the screentime management hack AND the adult life lesson to be drawn.\\xa0
