How does excessive screen time affect children's brains and development?
How many hours are recommended for a kid to be on screen?
What are the five ways to prevent tech tantrums and develop healthy screen habits?
Jennifer Strube Bochsler, LMFT, is co-founder of TechWiseLittles, an online community for nature-rich and screen-light parents. As an educator and licensed family therapist, she’s worked for 20 years in public and private education helping families with healthy tech boundaries and developing kids’ attention and focus skills. As a wife and mom of two, she's passionate about the outdoors and believes most things work better once unplugged…especially us.
For the last decade, screen time has been a topic for teenagers, but parents are now raising digital natives—infants are meeting family over FaceTime and the average toddler is on tech for over 2 hours a day.
In this talk, Jennifer explains why it’s never too early (or too late) to create a healthy relationship with tech. Through the use of simple screen swaps and intentional choices, it’s possible to boost your child’s development and connect more closely, both on and off tech. Not all screens are created equal, and she’s here to explain why.
