This episode is sponsored by the Tony Box, the screen-free musical story box for kids,

brought to you by Tonys. As a mum of three, energetic boys, I know exactly how hard it is to keep

kids entertained. A lot of the time, it feels easier just to pass them a device, so I can get a

moment's peace to get on top of chores or emails that always manage to stack up. These days,

it's hard to know what the right balance of screen time is and what the impact of it is.

The last thing I want is for it to affect their sleep or lead to tantrums.

Fortunately, I found something that the boys absolutely love and it really helps with their

screen time. It's called the Tony Box. It's a musical story box that keeps them entertained for

hours and hours. They just pick a Tony character and pop it on the box to listen to their

favourite songs and stories. The best part, it lasts for years as they have the perfect characters

for every age. Max in particular is absolutely loving the gruffalo and sog at the moment.

I also can't get over how many new words the boys have learned just by listening.

I can hear the vocabulary growing as they get older and listen to more complex stories.

but as any parent will know, they are far more than this. They are victories, small wins and happy

moments, stories to tell, share, record and dates to remember. I can clearly recall the moment

the buzz crawled. This was partly because in the days and possibly weeks leading up to it,

he teased us with this little, I'm going to crawl, I'm going to do it, I'm going to make an attempt.

No, no, no, he did not. But eventually it was his favourite toy that tempted him to make that
