Please remember to like and comment! Happy Thursday Everyone! I'm throwing back to 10-29-2020 when this episode first aired because it has been one of the most listened to episodes, and that tells me that it is a most needed topic of discussion. The evidence is widespread and undisputed that screen time is hugely detrimental to the development of our children's minds. That's why it is CRITICAL that we do everything we can as parents to limit our children's screen time. We might not immediately be able to see the negative repercussions of screen time on their little brains, but none of us should be willing to risk the long-term effects of screen time on our little ones' development. In this episode, I share time-proven, results-oriented practical tips to use immediately to decrease your children's screen. These are the same practical things that I did in our family as my boys were growing up and still utilize today. My goal is to equip you with simple, practical, and actional tips and advice I have garnered over my 16 years of Homeschooling to help you avoid the pitfalls I encountered early on in our family's homeschool journey. Remember that you're not alone, even if it feels like it sometimes. This is your space! You belong here if you're a fellow homeschooling parent, or parent in general. Together, we will ensure you have the best, the most successful life and LONG-TERM homeschool experience ever because it is only after sticking with it long-term that you can truly experience the Gift of Homeschooling!
