Why Your Child's Screen Habits Mirror Yours And How Parents Can Lead Kids Toward Healthier Tech Use

In this episode, we explore one of the most important—and overlooked—truths about modern parenting: kids model their screen habits after their parents. Drawing on new research, Dr. Kathy explains why parental phone use is the strongest predictor of a child's screen time and how small shifts in our habits can reshape the culture of our homes. We look at how to replace screen time with meaningful connection, why outdoor time matters (even for kids who aren't nature-loving), and how biblical principles from Ephesians 4 guide real, lasting change. This episode equips parents to lead with intention, break the tech cycle, and help kids thrive, mind, body, and soul.
