Raise Kids with Healthy Screen Time

Toxic screen time shouldn't be so hard to remove from your child's life

Let's face it. Parenting in this digital age can be hard.

It takes more time than you have and at times pushes your mind, body, and soul to their limits. And today's digital age one of the biggest challenges can be to raise kids with a healthy screen time.

Toxic screen time affects our ability to focus, problem solve, and connect with each other. And when you try to limit your kids’ screen time, it leads to fighting and tantrums.

This is not your fault!

Big Tech has designed screens to be addictive. They flood kids’ brains with dopamine, a feel-good chemical.

So when you try to take it away from your child, it’s like trying to take drugs away from a junkie.

But there is something you can do about it...

Learn how to avoid toxic screen time and enjoy healthy screen time for your family. This page is dedicated to help navigate through these unchartered waters of raising children in the digital age.

3 Steps to Healthy Family Screen Time

Even though the affects of screen time are a relatively new phenomenon, in the last 25 years or so, there is a lot of information that's becoming available.

To help us at Code Pineapple understand it better, we held ‘Healthy Screen Time’ Summit where we interviewed 13 leading child development experts about how to raise happy, healthy kids in the digital age. Those lessons and interview highlights can be found through out our Screen Time blog posts. But it's still a lot of information for you to navigate without a guide.

Checkout the articles with tips, tricks, and frameworks to help you cut out the toxic screen use in your families life and see the positive effects of healthy screen time.
