Screen Free Renegade Super Tip #1

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

TIP: Curate your children's media inputs.

Choose media for your kiddos that reflects kids experiencing screen freed childhoods. This includes books, audiobooks, television shows, and family movie night.

Here's why it works:

All of us are influenced by what we see, hear, and participate in (hello, influencers making bank on social media). Kids especially are prone to this - it's why kid-centric commercials work so well!

You certainly can't control all the inputs your kids get from outside sources like kids at school (though this is why getting your child's friends' parents on board with Screen Freed is so critical). But whenever possible, choose media that models the kind of childhood you want for your children.

If you want your kids to be independent, creative, kind, industrious, outdoorsy and adventurous, then make sure they are seeing examples of those traits modeled by kids in the stories and shows they consume.

Let your kids' entertainment exemplify screen freed childhood. This provides an alternative for when they see adults and kids with their faces buried in devices IRL.

In the past I would have buried grief beneath busy-ness or anger, would have run from it and sunk myself into something consuming and therefore distracting, or would've simply denied it. All because of a feeling. A painful feeling, but still, just a feeling. Not a rampaging rhinoceros. Not a rattlesnake poised to spring. Isn't it interesting how emotions can sometimes feel life...

The dream in your heart & who it makes you.

When I was 4, I wanted to be a singer when I grew up. When I was 7, I wanted to be the President of the United States. When I was 12, I wanted to be a movie director. But at every age, for as long as I can remember, I've known I would write books when I grew up. Some dreams take longer than others. This one has taken me 38 years. But I've finally done it! My book, Look Up!, is ready for purchase tomorrow! Every part of this - from writing it to the editing, layout & cover design process to...
