A major new report from the OECD has revealed shocking insights into how screen use is shaping children's lives—and not for the better. In this episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack the disturbing statistics, explain the real-world impact of screens on kids’ mental health, relationships, and development, and offer practical, age-specific strategies to help parents take back control. From toddlers to teens, this is the digital wake-up call every parent needs. KEY POINTS Startling Stats: Aussie teens average 7 hours of screen time per day. 12% use screens more than 80 hours per week. 70% of 10-year-olds “own” smartphones. 60% of Australian girls report severe distress from cyberbullying. 4 Uncomfortable Truths for Parents: Real-world problems predict digital problems. Kids in distress offline turn to screens for escape. Most parents are fighting the wrong war. The issue is less about screen time and more about content and connection. It’s a bi-directional trap. Poor mental health drives screen addiction, and screen use worsens mental health. Parental hypocrisy matters. Kids don’t listen if we model the very behaviour we criticise. The Hidden Costs of Screen Use: Depression, anxiety, loneliness, academic decline, sleep issues, and family conflict all rise with excessive and unsupervised screen use. The Real Solution: Strong offline relationships, autonomy-supportive parenting, and a focus on values, not just rules or limits. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “You can’t lift someone up if you’re underneath them. You’ve got to stand on high ground.” — Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED OECD Report: How’s Life for Children in the Digital Age? The Parenting Revolution by Justin Coulson Happy Families Webinars and Courses Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg Past episodes on sextortion and gaming ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS For Kids Aged 0–7: Be present during screen time or avoid it altogether. Keep devices out of bedrooms—model this yourself. Avoid gamified apps and addictive content. Prioritise simple, slow-paced shows (e.g., Bluey). For Kids Aged 8–12: Create a co-designed family media plan. Prioritise what they’re consuming, not just how much. Invest in offline activities and friendships—nature, play, and sport are protective. For Teens: Shift from control to collaboration. Support autonomy and solve problems with them. Address root issues—mental health, loneliness, stress—before tackling screen habits. Model healthy screen use. Walk your talk, or your words will fall flat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Really Interesting WomenThe PodcastEpisode 149 Myf WarhurstMyf Warhurst is a beloved Australian broadcaster, television presenter, journalist, writer, and podcaster whose career has spanned nearly three decades. Known for her warmth, wit, and extensive knowledge of music and pop culture, she has become, I'm prepared to make the call, a household name. She started her career as a journalist for music publications which led to a gig on Triple J radio and then Triple M, which led to her being a team captain on the cult tv show Spicks and Specks. She is a host on Eurovision and was the narrator on Rocky Horror Show – I mean, the list is not only incredible...it's almost endless. In particular we chatted about another cult show she's been an integral part of, Bluey. And the words that keep cropping up when describing Myf Warhurst? Authentic and relatable. And those things have gained her a lot of fans over the decades. And I reckon those qualities might have started developing themselves in Myf a long time ago, because she grew up in regional Victoria and that had a profound impact on her and shaped her career. Amongst other things, it instilled in her a deep appreciation for music, community, and storytelling that would become the foundation of her very successful work in Australian media. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering her, Myf Warhurst's story is great and really worth listening to. She's learnt a lot on her journey in an industry which is not always known for the longevity of its participants. Myf is an exception. And when you hear our conversation, you'll understand why.

Bluey watches a game with her neighbor and helps him decide which team to cheer for.
Behind every “yes” in the toy industry, there's a mountain of “no's,” countless hours of hustle, and more trial and error than most people expect. At one point, he came close to walking away from it all—until a single line from an episode of Bluey reminded him that making games was exactly what he was meant to do.In this episode Making It In The Toy Industry, I'm joined by the incredibly talented Jeremy Posner, owner of Shenanigans Toys and Games, the inventor behind hit games like Beagle or Bagel, Bears in Barrels, and Piggy Piggy. He's been named to the Mojo Nation 100 SIX times, won Game Innovator of the Year at the TAGIEs, and has worked with some of the biggest names in the toy industry like Hasbro, Mattel, and Spin Master. But here's the plot twist: it took Jeremy EIGHT years to meet his royalty goals. And that's after winning major awards and getting meetings with big companies right out the gate.You're gonna hear why just licensing a game doesn't mean you've made it, what really makes a game “sellable” to toy companies, and why most ideas just don't cut it. Jeremy also explained the real deal with royalties or advances, and how long it actually takes to see a check. He even shared how he trained his brain to be more creative (yes, that's a thing!).Dreaming of creating the next game night hit or just curious what it really takes to make it in toys and games?Hit play and steal a few smart moves for your next big creative leap.Listen for these Important Moments! [00:03:07] - Despite early wins, including a TAGIE award and a background at Big Monster Toys, Jeremy didn't hit his financial goals from game licensing until eight years in. [00:11:17] - After Toy Fair, Jeremy reflects on the silence that often follows a pitch. He explains how learning why you're hearing “no” (and from whom) is key to improving your ideas and not losing steam.[00:23:00] - Around year four, Jeremy stopped “just creating” and started strategically designing evergreens. He audited his creative process, studied the brain, and trained himself to boost creative output daily.[00:33:04] - Jeremy tests tons of game ideas fast by building quick, minimum viable prototypes. He runs super short playtests to see what's worth developing and keep his creativity flowing.[00:40:35] - Near the end of the episode, Jeremy shares his dream of designing fan experiences for sports teams and creating original game shows, proving he's still dreaming big, even after major success in toys and games.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!

In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy podcast, host Adina Oberman interviews musician Tyler Hilton, discussing the intricacies of blending fatherhood with his musical career. Hilton reflects on his time as both a touring musician and an active dad, with a special focus on how the pandemic afforded him a unique bonding opportunity with his young children. The conversation delves into the inspiration and creative process behind his new children's book, "Daddy Live in Concert," emphasizing the special bond between parents and their children and the power of music in fostering this connection. Episode Highlights 00:00:09: Host Adina Oberman introduces the Helping Families Be Happy podcast and presents Tyler Hilton as a guest. 00:01:19: Oberman elaborates on Hilton's background in music and acting, mentioning his roles and collaborations. 00:02:02: Hilton updates his bio to include the recent addition of his eight-month-old son, expressing the chaos and joy of early parenthood. 00:02:29: Discussion begins regarding Hilton's new book "Daddy Live in Concert" and its inception following the birth of his daughter Winnie. 00:03:34: Hilton shares the evolution of playing music for his children and the broader idea for connecting parents and kids through music. 00:04:28: The process of turning home concerts into live-streamed events during the pandemic is described. 00:05:39: Hilton candidly talks about his daughter's changing reaction to his singing, highlighting phases of children's growth. 00:06:20: Music's impact on young minds is discussed, and Hilton mentions his son's current enjoyment of his music. 00:07:01: Hilton explores similarities between playing music for different audiences — from hospital patients to children. 00:07:50: Oberman refers to another popular parenting tool, the show Bluey, for its lessons on imaginative play. 00:09:36: Hilton explains the book's perspective from a child and the magical view children have of their parents' abilities. 00:12:39: The conversation on how parents should embrace imaginative play ensues. 00:13:16: Hilton shares his strategy for creating a song list tailored to his children's tastes for ease and engagement. 00:16:34: Oberman asks about Hilton's upcoming children's album and his current tour details. 00:17:22: Hilton talks about his worldwide tour and its focus on One Tree Hill music, along with hints at future kid's album plans. 00:18:05: Discussion on the differences between performing for children and for other audiences. 00:18:25: Information is provided on how to follow Tyler Hilton and access his music and tour dates. 00:18:51: The episode concludes with gratitude towards Tyler Hilton and the hope for future collaborations. Key Takeaways Parents don't need to be professionals to entertain and engage with their children through music; it's about presence and enthusiasm. Encouraging imaginative play fosters a deep connection between parents and children and creates lasting memories. Music can bridge the gap in communication with young children, tapping into their emotional understanding. The perspective taken in "Daddy Live in Concert" highlights a child's view of their parents as heroes. Tweetable Quotes "Music is so great for kids anyway, whether it's being played on a speaker, but when they hear it live... it's a soul thing." — Tyler Hilton "Kids are just looking for reasons to have fun and be silly or stupid with their parents." — Tyler Hilton "Parents are the coolest people in the room for only a short time. This book encapsulates that magic." — Tyler Hilton Show Notes by Barevalue.
While we may well want to offer good programming to our children that directly speaks of our faith or essential Bible stories, we also want our children to learn how to live well in the world among neighbors, nature, and issues of the day. So in this episode, colleagues in ministry Sarah, Natalie, and Steve take a look at children's TV programs that aren't explicitly "Christian" but can be compatible with raising children with good social and emotional understanding, knowledge of the world, and how to deal with age-appropriate questions and situations. We'll highlight our impressions of shows like Bluey and Daniel Tiger as well as perennial favorites like Sesame Street on this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk!

The boys review the season finale of Daredevil: Born Again, with Matt Murdock delivering the knockout punch fans have been waiting for—bloody, brooding, and just the right amount of Catholic guilt. The episode ties up some loose ends with a flourish of fists and moral ambiguity, reminding us why Daredevil remains the most compelling guy in a mask (sorry, Spider-Man). Kingpin's arc wraps with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the fight choreography is peak Daredevil—gritty, brutal, and honestly kind of shocking for a show sitting next to Bluey and Moana on Disney+. Which begs the question: how is this show on Disney+? How many bone-snapping, gut ripping moments can Disney squeeze in alongside the Frozen Sing-Along before someone notices? And while we're at it, what would a Daredevil ride at Disneyland even look like? A pitch-black roller coaster where you have to punch your way out blindfolded? Does this signal a change for Disney+ or are we out of our minds? Follow at: Web www.PodcastCreative.net 562.455.4483 text or voice Instagram @wretchedhive77 Facebook.com @wretchedhivepodcast
We begin this week's episode with a little Built Puff bar drama. Kelly is obsessed and now Lizz is jumping on the bandwagon and taking one too many bars from the Stumpe stash. Could this cause a major riff between the sisters? Kelly spent some time this week doing a little Facebook snooping and realizing that parenting is the great equalizer. The cool kids in high school are also changing diapers and going to Disney on Ice and it feels so satisfying to see. Meanwhile, Lizz is getting ready to finally feel settled by the end of 2025. But first there is a whole host of home projects that need to be done that will require them to move out for a little while. In the end, Lizz says it will be all worth it. It's time to check in with Last Three Transactions. Lizz is all about buying stuff to make her life easier this week, like a belt hole puncher and glue traps for the bugs that get in her house. Plus, popsicle molds to made some easy sweet treats this summer. Kelly is on a health journey and bought some weights for her garage workouts. She also got more of those Geometry dish towels she's obsessed with and a headband and bow combo to tame some unruly child hair. Finally, in Ditch the Drive-Thru Kelly is giving you some easy dinner ideas based on what she is eating this week. Who wants flank steak, nachos or barbeque chicken sweet potatoes?

As I began to prepare for my recent episode with Jason from Binge Movies on Fascism in Cinema, it occurred to me that this would be a fascinating ongoing series in the next year or two in American history. For the next episode of the series, we are looking at authoritarian violence and the idea of due process in our society, and how it can be reflected in films. Joining me for this episode is Darin Lundberg from NostalgiaCast and Back to Bluey, and listen to us discuss Don Siegel's "Dirty Harry", Paul Michael Glaser's "The Running Man", and Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises". It's a very different discussion, but one worth taking in. I hope you enjoy!

Ever feel like the very act of planning self-care becomes another exhausting task on your to-do list? In this candid conversation, Jill and Linda explore the surprising paradox many moms face: sometimes our pursuit of self-care creates more pressure than relief. From decision fatigue to disappointment when plans fall through, we unpack why self-care sometimes feels like just another burden—and how to shift your approach for genuine restoration instead of more exhaustion.Episode Highlights:Delayed Exhaustion Is Real: Your body doesn't always process strain immediately. As Jill and Linda discovered, sometimes the exhaustion from challenging events hits hardest two days later—making preventative self-care even more important than reactive care.Decision Fatigue Matters: The mental load of deciding what self-care you need can itself become draining. As Linda points out, "Making the decisions to do self-care is exhausting," especially when you're already depleted.Flexibility Prevents Disappointment: When Jill's planned self-care night was canceled due to snow, she pivoted to a simpler alternative—early bedtime. Learning to adapt your self-care expectations helps prevent the emotional drain of disappointment.Quick Decisions Can Save Energy: Linda demonstrates the power of decisive action when she's depleted: "Toasted sandwiches for dinner, Bluey for the kids, and 30 minutes with my book." No overthinking required—just a rapid shift to protection mode.Self-Care Gets Easier: Both hosts agree that while self-care felt exhausting during early motherhood years, it becomes more intuitive and energizing as you develop your practice. What once drained you can become your source of restoration.Moving Forward:If you find yourself exhausted by the very thought of self-care, you're not alone—and we have solutions. We've compiled our top ten simple, free, and readily available self-care practices that require minimal decision-making energy. Reach out through our email (in the show notes) or on social media, and we'll send you this list to eliminate the decision fatigue. Remember: true self-care shouldn't drain you further—it should provide the exact kind of restoration your body and spirit need in this season of motherhood.You don't have to figure this out alone. Sometimes, the most powerful self-care is simply accepting support when it's offered.Connect with us:Please email your questions to muckedupyourselfcare@gmail.comJoin the conversation about what intentional self-care means to you.You can also find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and https://www.mamaoutspoken.com/ and Linda @hellolindabonney or https://www.lindabonney.com.Until next week – we hope you can unstuck your muck!
