Well, it's a beautiful thing to be apparent. It's also an invitation to chaos.

And we're going to talk a little bit about the way that chaos comes into our homes through screens.

I'm John Fuller, joined by Dr. Danny Werta.

And let's listen in to a conversation now that Focus President Jim Daly had with Justin Early.

Justin and his wife have four boys. And he shares about a time when his wife said,

we need to make a change.

Let's listen in.

Speaking of Lauren, she kind of threw, I think, a little bit of a shock through the family

with the boys with screen time.

Yes.

Now, this may be the number one parenting issue that we face here at Focus on the

family and probably in the culture as parents just... I think it absolutely is. You know, they're so

troubled by screen time. It's so powerful and so alluring and so addicting in some cases

that it's hard to fight as a parent. So what did Lauren do that kind of reset the rules?

Lauren one day came to me and she said, we're going to stop doing iPad time every day.

And I was shocked. Because it was the one hour or maybe hour and a half a day that she had as a

break to get things done with the kids. Right. And so I said, you know, I'm all for it. But you're the one who has to deal with this. I was like, are you serious? And she just said, it's not worth it. It's not helping. They're more spun up afterwards. I feel like they're getting addicted. I feel like this isn't a good routine. And she demonstrated something that has changed my perspective on this. And here it is.

You can change your screen time routines. You can. And I parents have the power. Parents think,

oh no, it's out of my hands now. Everybody has an iPhone. Everybody has an iPad. They already,

they're used to this. I can't take it away.
