Summary
We had a realization mid-recording: phones are basically raising a generation and most parents aren't ready for it. In this episode, we're unpacking what your child's device habits actually reveal about their sleep, mood, and mental health, and why understanding those patterns is your new parenting superpower. We're also shifting the conversation from "no phones" to building real digital self-control because rules without awareness don't stick. We dive into how tools like Aura Parents are helping families decode their kids' digital lives, from screen pickups to offline time, so you can parent with data, not just gut instinct. If you're tired of guessing, this one's for you.
