Summary

EP416. It is a screen time revisit! As parents, all we hear about is how bad screens are for kids. We are bombarded with guidelines about how much screen time kids should get and what kinds of shows they should be watching. Dr. Cindy Hovington breaks down what the research actually says about screens. She gives us tips for how to manage screen time at home, she tells us what her favourite kids shows are, and she stresses the importance of balance when it comes to screens and other activities.  RENEE REINA www.themomroom.com Instagram: @themomroompodcast | @thereneereina TikTok: @thereneereina Facebook Community Youtube: Renee Reina- The Mom Room Podcast Dr. CINDY HOVINGTON: @curious_neuron SPONSORS: Little Spoon Fungies Learn more about your ad choices.
