Скачать или смотреть Is Screentime (Brain Rot, Roblox, etc .) Ruining Our Kids' Behavior

We’re Charles and Z, an interracial couple with a blended family. We’re struggling with controlling children's behavior—what would you do? We think we need better behavior management strategies: limiting screen time (video games like brain rot and roblox) and YouTube influence to correcting self-centered behavior.

In this video, we share recent incidents involving our 7-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son: our daughter abandoning her friends; both of our kids fighting bedtime and various examples of selfish behavior. Is this normal, or should we do something? At the end of the video, we share our thoughts and strategies. But we need your help in the comments!!

Examples of recent behavior that concerned us

What we’re doing to redirect behavior with positive parenting strategies

Our plan to eliminate YouTube and reduce tablet time

The importance of structure, empathy, and boundaries in raising respectful, kind kids

We’d love to hear from other parents — have you dealt with similar issues? What worked for you?

We're also introducing a new weekly library routine to encourage reading over screen time.
