Don’t take away your kid’s video games #shorts

I want you to schedule time for your kids distraction. Whatever it is you think they're doing, too much of that you wish they would stop doing all the time. Schedule time for it. Why? When you schedule time for it, what you are doing is you're letting their minds stop ruminating on when can I play, when can I play, when can I play? You know exactly when you're going to play. Two, they can time box how much time they want. What's the big picture goal of parenting? The goal of parenting is not to raise your kids. The goal of parenting is to raise a future adult. So if I'm gonna be the bad cop and says stop using your device, give me your phones, put away that iPad. What's gonna happen when she leaves the house? When she goes off to college or starts a job? Am I still gonna be there? No. So I need to teach her the skills to self regulate her emotions. So when you plan time, when you make time for traction and you help your kids schedule the distractions, you're turning the distraction into traction.
