Joining me is Ash Brandin, educator and author of Power On: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family. Ash brings a fresh, nonjudgmental perspective to how families can navigate technology with intention and respect.
Together we explore:
- Why the “less is better” approach to screens often creates guilt and power struggles, plus a strategy that is more effective.
- How to use Ash’s “ABCs of screen time” framework (access, behavior, and content) to make intentional choices that meet everyone’s needs.
- The importance of respect and collaboration in setting screen boundaries (and boundaries in general) which help kids learn to be active participants, not passive rule-followers.
- How video games are a form of play that, used intentionally, can build autonomy, resilience, and connection.
- Practical strategies to help kids notice their internal states, regulate emotions, and transfer those skills beyond screens.
Whether you’re navigating video games, phones, or family movie nights, this conversation offers practical tools and a compassionate perspective to help your whole family build a healthier relationship with technology.
