Rethinking Screen Time: Connection Over Addiction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When parents struggle to get their children off devices, the usual advice is to set strict screen-time limits or use rewards. But when screens become something a child earns, they can end up becoming even more important, with the device taking over a bigger part of their day. Screens are also often used to calm children who are dysregulated or neurodivergent. While this may seem to work in the moment, Lauren explains why it can sometimes lead to a shutdown rather than helping a child properly re

In this episode, Lauren Edmunds explores how children develop and retain real-world skills. Through practical, every
The Power of "No" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whether a child is dealing with a mean peer on the playground or being pressured into a game they do not want to play, it all starts with having the confidence to say no. But standing up for yourself is a skill that has to be taught and practised, for children and adults alike. In this episode, Lauren Edmunds explores what it really means to "bully-proof" a child. Sharing a practical three-step approach to setting boundaries without guilt or aggression, Lauren explains why children need to know
