Episode 316

One of the most common reasons for big emotions in our homes is related to asking our children to get off of their devices. And they do have to learn to get off of their devices! But most of the time, we attempt to make this happen makes things worse, not better. When we get into our children’s world, we can often understand why our attempts aren’t effective – and what we can do instead.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it’s like from a child’s perspective to have to get off of screens
• Why his parents’ (very logical) attempts to address his behavior don’t work 
• How getting into your child’s shoes can help bring peace to your home
