We can't expect ourselves to stop the behavior when we live in an environment that's constantly inviting us to consume.

They're getting film phone cameras, right?

They're playing vinyl records.

The other thing, Ida, is you don't want to just take something away without replacing it with something that's better.

So, of course, your daughter is exhausted at the end of the day.

It's exhausting to be a 10-year-old, right?

But when she comes home and she legitimately needs to relax, you all need to come up with a

Maybe it's spending time talking with you or doing crafts.

Maybe it's joining a sports team and decompressing by being physically active.

So you need to give her healthier alternatives at the same time that you're going to try to take away the iPad.

Yeah.
