Raising Kids in a Digital World: Screen Time & Modern Parenting

Описание: Parenting in today’s digital world is something no previous generation has experienced, and most parents are learning as they go.

In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie dive into the realities of raising young kids surrounded by screens, iPads, FaceTime, streaming apps, and social media. They talk about screen time guilt, using technology as a survival tool during tough parenting moments, and the emotional tug-of-war between wanting connection and needing a break.

The conversation explores toddlers learning to scroll before they can dress themselves, meltdowns when devices turn off, attention span concerns, boredom, emotional regulation, and the pressure parents feel to model healthy screen habits. Amanda and Jessie also discuss sharing children online, consent, digital footprints, and the future challenges of phones and peer pressure.

This isn’t a screen-free parenting manifesto, it’s an honest conversation about balance, boundaries, and raising humans in a technology-first world. If you’re navigating mom guilt, modern parenting struggles, and the reality of digital childhood, you’re not alone.
