This is such a huge topic so I am going to try to cover as much as I can so I can give all of you, whether you have a 2 year old all the way up to a 22 year old, some useful, practical advice to start using today.
To keep things nice and simple this episode is for you if…..
- You haven’t yet parted with an electronic device and you want to know how to best set the right ground rules.
- Your child already has a tablet, mobile phone, gaming console and you are pulling your hair out trying to manage their time on it!
- You feel you have lost complete control over the use of devices – they’re in bedrooms at night, they’re on them all the time, you are constantly arguing over them, and you just can’t see a way forward
