Helping Our Kids Starts With Our Own Phone Habits

I hear from so many parents who feel conflicted about their own phone habits when it comes to modeling healthy use for their kids.

They’ll say, “I tell my kids to get off their screens, but then I’m on mine all the time.” Given that we all carry around these powerful mini computers and entertainment centers, it’s easy to understand why this is such a common struggle.

This week, I’m focusing on one simple and honestly wonderful modeling strategy: showing kids that we’re aware of our own screen habits and bringing them along as we work to change them.

In today’s blog, I introduce two moms who are taking on my One Small Change Challenge and share how you can try it too.
