Emily gave a great presentation on parenting in the age of screentime. She was so engaging and provided a ton of useful science-backed data in an accessible way. Emily spoke about the realities of screentime without any judgement, which I really appreciated. We’ve even incorporated one of her concrete suggestions into our own family – explaining out loud to our kids what we are doing on our phone when we pick them up.
