Hello everybody, welcome to Life with Nat, little Nat's niece is spesh because I'm going on holiday. So whilst I'm away, we're doing

0:23.2

a few little random ones because I never want you to be without a pod on a Monday and Thursday

0:27.3

and I know you'll appreciate it. Hello, girls. Hi. We all good? Yeah, all good. Thank you.

0:32.7

Excellent. Excellent. So there's a little thread that I've been chatting to a few people about, which is freedom, children, screen times. Was it better in the 80s and 90s when everyone was playing out? They weren't on games. It's just such a broad subject, but I've not spoken to you both about it. So I thought, let's just kick off

1:52.6

Always going back to food.

1:55.5

But you know what?

1:56.6

It's interesting because I worked with children.

1:59.0
