Why is it so hard to set screen time boundaries with toddlers? 

Is it just modern parenting—or is there something bigger going on?

In this powerful first episode of our screen time mini-series, Erin walks you through the cultural shifts, industry influence, and developmental concerns that make screens a bigger issue than most parents realize. 

Drawing on insights from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, Erin challenges moms to be bold, clear, and proactive—starting now.

🎧 In this episode:

  • The real reason screens feel “unavoidable”
  • What’s happening to our kids—and why it starts earlier than you think
  • How to stay strong in a culture that profits from distraction
  • Practical encouragement to build better habits now—for fewer battles later

This isn’t about shame. It’s about clarity and courage. 

The toddler years are your moment to lead—and this episode will help you do just that.
