When it comes to screen time - my biggest tip is to make sure your children are exposed to quality content. To me, quality boils down to being: 👶🏽Age appropriate (made exactly for your child’s age range and development). 📚Educational and/or inspiring (versus just entertaining). 💃🏽Engaging and interactive (encourages them to participate either by calling out answers, dancing, sharing their ideas, etc). Nowadays, there are so many options to choose from that it can be hard to know what is quality and what’s not. That’s why in this video, I’ll be sharing some of my current (and past) favorites that I think you should check out. Keep in mind, this is not an exhaustive list. I kept the list short for a reason.
