Big emotions can leave even the most confident mom wondering, Is this normal… or should I be concerned? Counselor Dr. Chinwé Williams joins Karen and Emily to explain what's happening in our kids' brains when they completely lose it and how we can partner with them to teach coping skills so they can move toward handling hard emotions on their own.Episode Recap:Are kids struggling with mental health more these days or are we just better at recognizing it? (2:32)As young as age 5, kids are struggling with ‘task persistence' (4:41)Anxiety is a sign - it's not the enemy (8:54)Understanding the upstairs vs. downstairs brain (15:48)How do we help our child via co-regulation? (20:04)Where's the line between attachment science and gentle parenting?

What might your child's anxiety be telling you right now?How well do you stay regulated when your child is dysregulated?

Don't miss this great conversation with Dr. Leslie Treece, a practicing pediatrician in Cookeville, Tennessee, about the mental health challenges she sees in kids every day.

In this hilarious episode, Tara sits down with Stephanie Drake and Arthur Meyer, the creative minds and co-hosts behind the hit satire series ABC Parenting. The trio dives deep into how the show brilliantly parodies the overwhelming, contradictory flood of online parenting advice that leaves so many parents feeling like they are failing. Stephanie (an actress and writer, known for her role as Meredith in Mad Men) and Arthur (a veteran comedy writer whose credits include The Tonight Show) share how their own real-life anxieties shape their sharpest sketches. The conversation highlights how ABC Parenting turns the fear-based messaging of modern parenting into comedy gold. Beyond the laughs, the conversation unpacks the very real pressures driving the satire, touching on everything from the intense stress of kindergarten "redshirting" to navigating comment sections when audiences mistake parody for actual advice, a struggle Tara knows all too well. The group also reflects on broader cultural shifts, contrasting the hands-off independence of 1980s childhoods with today's hyper-monitored, information-overloaded landscape.

What does it really take to thrive in motherhood?In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann sits down with Dr. Laura Le, chiropractor, mother, and author of Postpartum Reimagined, for an honest conversation about postpartum recovery, motherhood identity, matrescence, perfectionism, self-trust, nervous system regulation, and the emotional transformation that can come with becoming a mom.

Your child can know what to do—and still be unable to do it in a hard moment. When they struggle with something they managed yesterday, it is easy to assume they are being lazy, disrespectful, or simply choosing not to try. But what if there is more going on underneath the behavior? In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore why a child who seemed capable yesterday may struggle today—and how parents can respond with curiosity, calm limits, and support instead of labels and shame. This does not mean lowering expectations or letting behavior slide. Understanding what is underneath behavior helps us hold limits with more calm, stay curious instead of judgmental, and help our kids build the skills they still need. In this episode, we discuss:Why “lazy,” “defiant,” and “disrespectful” labels miss the full storyWhy stress, hunger, exhaustion, and overwhelm can limit access to skillsHow to notice “can't yet” beneath what looks like “won't”How to hold limits without excusing behaviorHow to help your child grow instead of judging them against a finished brain Follow Art of Raising Humans for practical, relationship-first parenting tools each week.

You love the same kids. You probably even want many of the same things for them. So why can you and your spouse look at the exact same parenting moment and see it completely differently? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara share more of their own parenting story—including the beliefs they brought into parenting, the conflicts they didn't expect, and the very different approaches they initially had to sleep, big emotions, discipline, connection, and their roles as parents. They talk openly about how childhood experiences, personality, fear, expectations, and even professional training can shape the way we respond to our kids—and why getting on the same page doesn't mean becoming the same parent. You'll hear how they moved from judging each other's approach to building a shared vision for their family, while still making room for their individual strengths. In this episode, you'll learn:Why different parenting styles can create so much tension between couplesHow your own childhood can quietly influence the way you parentWhy shared long-term goals matter more than handling every situation identicallyHow to start moving toward a more connected, collaborative approach to parenting together If parenting disagreements are creating tension in your marriage or leaving you wondering how you'll ever get on the same page, this conversation will give you hope—and a different way to think about becoming a team. Want help putting this into practice? Download our free Parenting Together Workbook, created to help you and your spouse or co-parent talk through your different perspectives, uncover what's shaping the way each of you parents, and begin building a more intentional, shared approach to raising your kids.

Those who strive to constantly obey God's will are like flourishing, fruitful trees with deep roots. The psalmists praise God for His righteousness; there are hymns extolling Him as the Creator, Provider, and Redeemer of humanity. God is Almighty and always acts at the right time; He is sovereign over all circumstances. When we feel powerless, we can seek God's help; we can always pray for His deliverance and protection. The Psalms contain profound prayers; when we confess our sins and turn away from them, God forgives us. The psalmist emphasises the timeless theme of blessedness. This verse tells us what to avoid: associating with sinners and those who mock God. The Lord is righteous, and when we trust in Him, He grants peace to our hearts. Chaff is light and easily blown away by a gentle breeze, whereas the winnowed grain falls back to the ground; the chaff represents the life of the unbeliever, aimlessly tossed about, while the grain represents the life of the believer, who can be used by God. The wicked may prosper in worldly terms, but God assures us that a day of judgement will come for them. God does not judge people based on race, gender, or nationality.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones talks about what to do when your daughter takes something personally that seems small to you. Whether it's a friend walking past her, a teacher correcting her, or a comment she can't stop thinking about, Melissa shares why you don't have to understand why something hurt before you can acknowledge that it did.Tune in to discover:Why acknowledging her feelings doesn't mean agreeing with her interpretationWhat to say instead of “It's not that big of a deal”How listening first can help you understand what she actually needsWhy resilience isn't about never being bothered—it's about learning what to do with those feelingsHow to give your daughter space to process, gain perspective, and decide when to let something goThis episode is a reminder that sometimes your daughter doesn't need you to make the moment smaller. She may simply need you to see that it mattered to her and give her room to figure out what comes next.Melissa also shares a personal update from Be You Brand Live and her chapter in Be You Brand, Volume 3, “The Moment Someone Sees You: How Belonging Changes Everything.” Proceeds from the book help support scholarships for girls through Girls Positivity Club.KINDLE:Read Be You Brand, Volume 3 on KindlePAPERBACK:Get Be You Brand, Volume 3 in paperbackMelissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

Boundaries can feel uncomfortable, but they're essential for healthy relationships! Counsellor Debbie Causey joins Karen and Emily today to explain what healthy boundaries actually look like, how over-functioning hurts the people we're trying to help, and how to know when it's time to say no. If boundaries are hard for you, you'll walk away with practical tools, including how to start with a few “baby nos” to protect your relationships without building walls.Episode Recap:Why are boundaries a universal struggle? (2:40)Healthy boundaries aren't a wall, they're a fence with a gate (4:11)We need to learn the difference between a burden and a backpack (6:45)How can I tell if I have a boundary issue with someone else? (10:54)Over-functioning teaches people to be lazy and steals their confidence (14:15)What's the difference between setting a boundary and just avoiding people? (16:00)Get someone objective in the situation if you need to (22:36)Practice saying “ baby” nos (23:31)Scripture: Galatians 6:2-5 (NIV) “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.”Discussion Questions:Is there a relationship where you're carrying someone else's “backpack”? What would it look like to hand that responsibility back to them?Where are you over-functioning for someone in a way that may actually be keeping them from growing?What's one “baby no” you need to practice saying this week?

Every parent wants confident kids.But what if confidence isn't something parents can simply give their children?In Episode 164 of High Performance Parenting, Greg Francis and his daughter Crissy close out their Champion Mindset series with an important parenting lesson:Confidence isn't built by compliments. It's built by competence.Crissy looks back at several experiences her parents pushed her toward—even when she was scared, resistant, or didn't understand why.Joining the worship team.Starting Super Kids.Trying out for varsity tennis.Each experience initially felt uncomfortable.But on the other side of that discomfort was growth.In this episode, you'll discover:When parents should push children beyond their comfort zonesWhy fear can masquerade as wisdomHow competence creates lasting confidenceWhy children sometimes need parents to see beyond their immediate feelingsHelping kids deal with people who don't understand or approve of themRaising kids who are comfortable standing outHow teens can communicate honestly with their parentsWhy parents need to own mistakes and apologizeHow to stretch kids without damaging the relationshipWhy your child needs opportunities to discover what they're capable ofCrissy shares that she was extremely nervous about joining the worship team, starting her business, and trying out for varsity tennis—but now she is grateful that her parents didn't allow fear to make those decisions for her.She also offers parents an important warning: when you raise kids to pursue higher standards, not everyone around them will understand or approve. Parents need to help children navigate that rather than teaching them that everyone has to like them.Your child doesn't need an easier life.They need more opportunities to discover:“I can do hard things.”Subscribe to High Performance Parenting as we help parents raise champion children in a crazy world.#HighPerformanceParenting #ChristianParenting #ConfidentKids #ParentingTeens #RaiseChampionKids(00:00) - Raising Kids Who Won't Always Fit In (00:54) - Intro (01:36) - When Kids Actually Apply What You Teach (03:04) - Why Parents Sometimes Need to Push (03:28) - Getting Outside the Comfort Zone (04:54) - Starting Super Kids Before Feeling Ready (05:36) - Pushing Through Fear in Sports (06:26) - Fear Can Masquerade as Wisdom (07:09) - Advice for Parents Raising Champion Kids (07:52) - Teaching Kids to Stand Out (09:44) - Advice for Teenagers (10:32) - Why Teens Need Honest Conversations With Parents (12:06) - When Parents Need to Apologize (12:56) - Creating a Culture of Growth (13:25) - Confidence Comes From Competence (14:10) - Let Kids Struggle and Grow (15:18) - Start With One Change (16:01) - What Is Super Kids?

Curiosity is one of the most beautiful parts of childhood. It drives kids to ask questions, explore new ideas, take healthy risks, and discover who they are. But as kids get older, curiosity can also become scary for parents. What happens when curiosity leads your child toward pornography, vaping, alcohol, sex, risky online content, dangerous challenges, or choices they may not be ready to handle? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara explore how parents can protect their kids without teaching them to fear curiosity or hide their questions. They explain why curiosity is a normal part of child and adolescent development, why teens are especially drawn to novelty and new experiences, and how parents can become the safe person their child turns to when curiosity takes them somewhere unfamiliar. You'll learn:Why curiosity changes as children move from childhood into the tween and teen yearsHow to consider curiosity, risk, access, and readiness before deciding how much freedom to giveThe SAFE framework for responding when your child brings you an uncomfortable or concerning questionHow to create boundaries around screens, pornography, substances, relationships, risky behavior, and other areas of exploration without shutting down communication Kyle and Sara also share practical ways to guide curiosity differently with younger children, tweens, and teenagers, and how to prepare kids for moments when curiosity, peer pressure, and impulsiveness collide. The goal isn't to raise kids who never take risks or ask hard questions. It's to raise kids who stay full of wonder while gradually learning how to pause, assess risk, seek help, and make choices that protect their future. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/the-wonder-and-danger-of-curiosity-how-to-help-kids-explore-safely Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Welcome to Episode 323 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, I'm joined by returning guest Beth Lambert, Executive Director of Documenting Hope and author of A Compromised Generation. After more than two decades immersed in children's health, Beth is more hopeful than ever. Why? The science has changed. Our understanding of the microbiome, nervous system, metabolism, environmental stressors, and other contributors to chronic childhood conditions has exploded. More practitioners are applying this knowledge clinically. And more parents are sharing stories of children making remarkable progress. But having more information and more options doesn't necessarily make a parent's job easier. In fact, it can make discernment even more important. Your child is unique. There is no universal roadmap, perfect practitioner, or silver bullet. The opportunity is to gather good information and support while becoming increasingly clear about what makes sense for your child. We also explore something parents can easily overlook: you are part of your child's environment. Your nervous system, energy, decisions, consistency, and ability to regulate matter. Supporting yourself isn't taking attention away from your child. It can be foundational to helping your child feel safe and thrive. Beth also shares why in-person community can be so powerful and what she's most excited about at Documenting Hope's upcoming Health & Healing Expo in Orlando, November 21-22. The future is changing quickly. There are more reasons for hope, more tools available, and more possibilities opening up for families. The secret this week is… Healing Is More Possible Than You Think You'll Discover: Why there's more reason for hope than ever before (1:26) Why YOU are your child's most important decision-maker (7:00) Why commitment beats chasing the next intervention (15:42) How community can create unexpected breakthroughs (23:05) Why the future of children's health could look radically different (32:48) About Our Guest: Beth Lambert is a former healthcare consultant and teacher. As a consultant, she worked with pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, and other healthcare companies to evaluate industry trends. She is the author of A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America's Children and co-author of Brain Under Attack: A Resource for Parents and Caregivers of Children with PANS, PANDAS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis. Beth founded Epidemic Answers in 2009 and currently serves as Executive Director of Documenting Hope. She attended Oxford University, graduated from Williams College, and holds a Master's Degree in American Studies from Fairfield University. www.beth-lambert.com/documenting-hope References in this Episode: Health & Healing Expo by Documenting Hope, November 21–22, 2026 | Orlando, Florida + Virtual Healing Together by Documenting Hope A Compromised Generation by Beth Lambert Brain Under Attack by Beth Lambert Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.com If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ Your children do not just hear what you say. They can also sense your stress, anxiety, and emotional state. So how can parents regulate themselves before that stress spreads throughout the family?In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt opens up about the anxiety and overwhelm that can come with modern motherhood. She explains how learning about co-regulation changed the way she responds to tantrums, meltdowns, running late, and other stressful parenting moments.Katherine shares how introducing meditation into her morning routine helped her feel calmer, become less reactive, and better handle whatever the day brings. She emphasizes that the solution will look different for every parent, whether it involves meditation, walking, exercising, asking for help, or simply creating a few quiet moments before the day begins.Dr. Taz and Katherine also discuss:• Why children often absorb and respond to their parents' stress • How regulating your own nervous system can help your children feel safer • Why today's parents may feel more anxious and overwhelmed • The importance of asking for help instead of trying to do everything alone • How grandparents can provide connection, support, and stability • Staying connected with your partner when traditional date nights are difficult • Why clear communication matters when dividing parenting responsibilities • Katherine's experience with postpartum anxiety during the pandemic • How Ayurvedic practices supported her postpartum recovery • Preparing older children and the wider family for a new babyKatherine also shares how she and her husband, Chris Pratt, navigate parenting as a team. Rather than expecting each other to instinctively know what is needed, they focus on honest communication, regular check-ins, and clearly asking for support.If parenting sometimes leaves you feeling overstimulated, anxious, or stretched beyond your limits, this conversation is a reminder that you do not need to be a perfect parent. Finding your own calm, accepting help, and reconnecting with the people around you can create a positive ripple effect throughout your family.About Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt:Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is a New York Times bestselling author, animal advocate, and mother.

Have you ever found yourself taking your child's behavior personally, getting defensive, or reacting in a way you wish you could take back? Today, we're talking about how the Gottman Institute's Four Horsemen of criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling can show up in our parenting, why our kids' emotional development means we have to take the lead when it comes to navigating conflict, and how much they learn from the way we handle hard moments. We're not going to get it right every time, but becoming more aware of our patterns can help us model healthier communication, repair, and relationships for our kids.Key Topics CoveredWhy criticism can feel like an attack or humiliation to a childHow to tell the difference between taking a break and stonewallingWhy self-regulation has to come before trying to coach your child through a conflictHow to soften the start-up and communicate your feelings more clearlyThe importance of taking responsibility and modeling a genuine apologyLINKS AND RESOURCES:AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9uMOMCOZY: 20% off with code HERSELF https://momcozy.com/ Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Do you ever feel like you are managing every detail of your child's life—schoolwork, activities, friendships, schedules, and responsibilities—yet worry they may not be learning how to handle life without you? Or maybe you try to give your child more freedom, only to watch them become overwhelmed, make a choice they regret, or expect you to rescue them afterward. In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester talk about the difference between giving children small choices and helping them practice the meaningful decision-making skills they will need for adulthood. From choosing classes, activities, and friendships to managing time, money, and growing responsibilities, children and teens need opportunities to make real choices while parents are still nearby to guide them. You'll learn how to give your child an appropriate voice without putting adult-sized pressure on them; how to know when to step in and when to step back; and how to help them recover when a decision does not work out. This episode is for parents who want to raise confident, capable kids—not kids who need a parent to manage every next step. In this episode, you'll learn:Why too much control—or too much freedom—can leave kids anxious and unprepared for adulthood.How meaningful choices build confidence, responsibility, resilience, and executive-function skills.Age-appropriate choices for elementary-aged children, tweens, and teens.How to coach your child through decisions and mistakes without rescuing, shaming, or taking over. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/are-you-giving-your-child-real-choices-how-to-build-confidence-without-giving-up-leadership-ep-227 Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Episode 008 Notes Why Your Consequences Don't Work Main Idea Consequences often fail because parents are inconsistent, change them too often, give privileges back too early, or make punishments too extreme. The goal of discipline is not to make children miserable. It is to teach responsibility. Core Principle Rules. Consequences. Enforcement. Segment 1 — “Nothing Works With My Child” A child getting angry, arguing, or repeating a behavior does not automatically mean the consequence failed. Key Point: Parenting is training, and training takes repetition. Segment 2 — The Consequence Keeps Changing Children need clear expectations and predictable outcomes. Key Point: Decide consequences before the rule is broken whenever possible. Segment 3 — You Keep Giving It Back Early Apology and forgiveness do not always remove consequences. Key Point: Children can be forgiven and still finish the consequence. Segment 4 — Your Consequences Are Too Big Extreme punishments are often difficult to enforce. Key Point: Consistency matters more than intensity. Segment 5 — Stop Asking Whether They Care “I don't care” does not mean the consequence is ineffective. Key Point: Discipline is about teaching responsibility, not creating a dramatic reaction. Segment 6 — Rules, Consequences, Enforcement Clear rules and reasonable consequences only work when parents follow through. Key Point: A rule without enforcement eventually becomes a suggestion. Scripture Proverbs 22:6 — Train up a child in the way he should go. Hebrews 12:11 — Discipline may be painful in the moment but produces fruit later. Galatians 6:7 — We reap what we sow. Parent Challenge Choose three important household rules. Decide the consequence for breaking each one. Explain them clearly. Then follow through calmly and consistently. Raise Them Ready — Hard Now, Ready Later.

This week we wrap up our series on supporting children's social, emotional, and relational health with a conversation focused on what pediatricians and other clinicians can take from the series and put into practice. Our host Paul Wirkus, MD and guests Neal Davis, MD and Quang-Tuyen "Q" Nguyen join us to reflect on the key messages from the previous episodes and explore how clinicians can incorporate relational health into everyday pediatric care, particularly when working with families facing additional challenges.The discussion emphasizes that supporting children's mental and relational health doesn't always require a lengthy intervention. Sometimes, it happens in the small encounters - a pediatrician showing genuine care, listening to a family, noticing what they need, and helping parents feel supported. We also consider how clinical care can be strengthened when the policies and systems surrounding families are designed to work for them rather than create additional barriers.Q shares practical insights into advancing relational health in pediatric practice and supporting vulnerable populations, while Neal offers a broader vision for the future of early childhood health care. The episode closes by looking at the role pediatricians, health systems, and communities can play in creating a healthier future for Utah's children and families.Book Club: Amazing GenerationHave a question?

Does your teen have no clear plan for college, work, or life after high school? When they say, “I don't know,” it can bring up a lot of fear for parents. Are they behind? Unmotivated? Will they be able to support themselves and find a meaningful path? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester explain why pressure often makes teens shut down and how parents can guide their teen forward without taking over or backing away completely. Your teen does not need to have their whole future figured out right now. They need opportunities to learn about themselves, build real confidence, and practice making thoughtful next-step decisions. You'll learn:Why uncertainty is not the same as laziness or a lack of potentialHow your own fear can accidentally make future conversations feel overwhelmingCurious questions that help teens discover strengths, interests, and what drains themPractical ways to build ownership through experiences, responsibility, and small decisions Whether your teen is anxious about the future or seems completely unbothered by it, this conversation will help you replace pressure with calm, connected leadership and help them grow into an adult who can navigate whatever comes next. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/when-your-teen-has-no-idea-what-to-do-with-their-life Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

America has a crisis of young men—and Tony Woodlief believes fatherhood, faith, and stronger communities could be part of the answer. On The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with writer, political scientist, and author Tony Woodlief for a wide-ranging conversation about fatherhood, masculinity, parenting, faith, politics, education, artificial intelligence, and finding purpose in an increasingly disconnected culture. Woodlief explains why he believes too many young men have been left without meaningful friendships, employment, education, or connections to institutions and communities. He discusses the difference between simply being a parent and intentionally being a father, why modern portrayals of masculinity often miss the mark, and what can be done to help men searching for direction and purpose. Karol and Tony also explore his unconventional approach to politics and federalism, including why he believes massive school districts have weakened parents’ control over their children's education and why breaking them into smaller, locally accountable districts could produce better results. Plus, Tony offers his provocative prediction about artificial intelligence and the future of writing and art, explains why AI may expose rather than destroy bad creative work, and shares the simple daily practice he believes can dramatically improve your life: intentional gratitude. It’s a thoughtful conversation about raising children, becoming better men, strengthening families, reclaiming local control, and finding meaning in a rapidly changing America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we turn to one of the most common parenting questions in pediatric practice: screen time and digital wellness. Our host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Mark Witt, MD, discuss the unique role pediatricians have in helping families navigate technology use, while recognizing the challenge of addressing an increasingly complex topic within the limited time of a well-child visit.Rather than focusing only on a specific number of screen-time hours, the conversation emphasizes an age-specific approach and encourages pediatricians to consider what screen use may be displacing. We explore how increased screen time can affect physical activity, family time, sleep, and even where children use screens within the home. The discussion also highlights the value of establishing screen-free spaces and creating healthy boundaries around technology.Throughout the episode, our guest offers practical ways pediatricians can begin conversations about digital wellness and help families develop healthy, sustainable habits around screens.AAP Statement on Screen Time Book Club: Amazing GenerationHave a question?
