Simple Farmhouse Life · The Farmhouse Edit: Screens vs. the Village: Why Moms Don’t Really Lack Time | RuthAnn of Homesteading with the Zimmermans · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

And here's here's what I wanna tell people.

I had never used word in my life until I opened it to write the first chapter of my book.

And that right there is proof that your children do not need to practice on Word before they go to college because children people all learn what they want to learn when the when they need to learn it.

And another another thing where is proof is so our oldest son

He didn't play on computers, didn't have devices, didn't have laptops, nothing until he was probably in high school, right?

So they are g they get on laptops at in high school and they do some of their work at our Christian school that they go to.

And as a junior last year, he became indispensable to his teachers because he could do whatever they needed him to do on the computer.

Anytime the adults at the school ran into a problem, he was able to fix it for them.

Because his

It all boils down to he wanted to learn it and and so that to me was proof you can keep your kids from all screens.

And if they have a need to learn it, they will not be miss they will not look back and say, Oh, if only I had started at eight years old, I'd be able to support my family now by having an IT job.

The it doesn't work like that.

I so that those two incidences just proved to me that you can raise your kids without screens and they will not be lagging behind their peers when it if they wanna go to college or or at any time.

They're not gonna be lagging behind their peers because they didn't have screens.

So that argument is

Yeah.

I think the I think the key to that, Lisa, is for for um people to speak it out loud.

Um, because I know for myself I have to be intentional.

I have to say kings don't eat this good.

We raised all of this, you know.
