Unplugged: Parenting in a Digital World

This week Melanie and Allison discuss the impact of screen time on kids. We're talking all kinds of screen time - ipads, tablets, computers, TV - you name it! Allison shares her personal experiences with social media, including seeing some bizarre online content and social media trends that tend to be time-sucking and distracting. We share some strategies we use for managing our children's screen time, including limiting iPad use and promoting non-screen activities.

In the end, it's all about maintaining a balanced lifestyle amidst the competition we moms face with screen time.
