Anyone else?
Reality TV star and designer Whitney Port is the mother of adorable almost-three-year-old Sonny recently took to Instagram to share how screens are becoming a bigger and bigger problem in their home.
And I think to most parents, the issue she describes a very relatable.
Just take a look:
Port has captioned her video:
“He’s addicted, I’m addicted, EVERYONE is addicted. Screen time is an ever-increasing part of our daily lives and the lives of our kids. To be totally honest, we mainly use it when we are being lazy, aren’t capable of being the most present parents and just need some time to chill. There, I said it. But, we don’t want to forbid screens when they are such a ubiquitous part of our world, nor do we want to make them that much more special by placing heavy restrictions on them. Head to the ? in my bio for our latest episode of “I Love My Toddler, But…”. Screens have sunk their teeth into Sonny, and we are figuring out what to do about it. How have you guys dealt with this issue? @renanziva, a child development specialist on next weeks episode of my podcast helps us sort through this issue as well.”
The 34-year-old, who has a successful podcast on parenting called “I love my toddler, but…” is discussing this very issue further there, and has gotten a child development specialist on board to help out. So if screens are an issue in your house too, it might just be worth a listen!
