Screen Time, Parenting & the Power of Camp with Amy Lowe

View descriptionShare
 

By age three, more than half of children are already attached to a screen. And if you're waiting for your kids to be the problem, Amy Lowe has some uncomfortable news: the research points back at us first. Amy, director of Wind Shape Camps for Girls and Families, joins Brian From for a candid conversation about what technology is actually doing to kids, why parents are often the ones driving the habit, and what happens when children spend a week unplugged in nature with counselors who model something different. Spoiler: parents keep saying the same thing when they pick their kids up — "I got my kid back." Amy breaks down the case for holding off on screens as long as possible, why giving kids real-world adventures matters more than we realize, and why being passive about technology means it wins by default. Plus a practical word for parents who are newer to this: you actually know more now than previous generations did, and that's an advantage worth using. Find Wind Shape Camps at windshapecamps.org.
