How to End Screen Time Tantrums Without Power Struggles
As a mom of three and a pediatric ophthalmologist, I’ve seen screen time from both sides — the medical and the emotional. I don’t believe in banning screens, but I do believe in setting thoughtful, science-backed boundaries that help kids learn self-control and protect their vision. In this post, I’m sharing the exact checklist, apps, and daily systems that have made screen time more peaceful (and a lot less guilt-filled) in our home.
