Screentime is the subject of so much parental anxiety and so many arguments for families around the globe. And in this episode we tackle it head-on with Emily Cherkin, MEd (aka: The Screentime Consultant) and author of the fabulous book (and Amazon best seller), "The Screentime Solution: A Judgment-Free Guide to Becoming a Tech-Intentional Family".

Emily is a former middle school English teacher and mom of two who consults with parents, offers school presentations and professional development training, and writes about parenting and screentime to bring her tech-intentional approach to as many people as possible. 

She’s been featured everywhere from the New York Times to the Today Show and has the best advice I've heard for parents trying to find a healthy balance for their kids and teens in the age of screens.
