Fresh Take: Ash Brandin, The Gamer Educator

Most of us think our kids should have less screen time. At least that’s the guilt trip we’ve been sold. But what if we can take a more “value neutral” approach? Ash Brandin, @TheGamerEducator, tells us how families can make screens work for everyone.

Show Notes

How can we place reasonable limits on our kids' screen time— and how do we know what's reasonable? Ash Brandin, better known on Instagram as @TheGamerEducator, brings their experience as an educator (and gamer) to help families better understand and manage technology in ways that can benefit the entire family.

In this episode, we discuss:

why screens are "value neutral," and why their educational merit is derived more from how screens are being used
the one question we should ask ourselves to know whether screens are okay in a given moment
how to raise kids who will be able to set their own parameters around screens and gaming once we're no longer there to harass them
