A 10-year-old researched screen time for her school project, changed her own habits, and has a hopeful message for parents: it’s not too late.
What happens when a kid becomes the screen time expert in her own house?
In this episode of The Screen Guardians Podcast, host Katie sits down with Ali, a fifth grader who chose kids and screen time as her year-long school exhibition project — “Logged In and Tuned Out: The True Impact of Screen Time” — and her dad, Corey. After reading Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation, Ali deleted apps, rethought her own habits, and discovered a message worth sharing: screens aren’t all bad, and it’s never too late to find balance.
This is a conversation full of hope, not fear — and a beautiful reminder that education, not restriction, is what actually helps kids build a healthy relationship with technology.
