In this episode, Shauna chats to Ash Brandon to discuss the widespread practice of using screen time withdrawal as a form of punishment for children. While many parents turn to this method in hopes of instilling discipline, we explore the potential pitfalls and long-term implications of making screens a bargaining chip. Ash talks on the psychology behind removing screens, plus strategies that encourage intrinsic motivation and natural consequences, and also the challenges parents face in managing their own time while ensuring a balanced approach to technology in the household.
