We all know too much screen time isn’t good for kids—and our instinct as parents is to protect them from it. But when fear shapes how we manage screens at home, it can quickly turn into shame the moment they pick one up.In today’s world, where screens are woven into so much of daily life, the real challenge is to face that reality with thoughtfulness - and to make choices guided by our values, not by guilt. In this episode, Dr. Becky sits down with screen time expert Ash Brandon, EdS (@thegamereducator) to talk about the moral judgments, practical boundaries, and family-specific choices that shape our approach to screens.Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: <a href="https://bit.ly/4fSxbzk">https://bit.ly/4fSxbzk</a>Your Good Inside membership might be eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement! To learn more about how to get your membership reimbursed, check out the link here: <a href="https://www.goodinside.com/fsa-hsa-eligibility/">https://www.goodinside.com/fsa-hsa-eligibility/</a>Follow Dr. Becky on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside">https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside</a>Sign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: <a href="https://www.goodinside.com/newsletter">https://www.goodinside.com/newsletter</a>For a full transcript of the episode, go to <a href="http://goodinside.com/podcast">goodinside.com/podcast</a>.When it comes to school snacks, I’ve never been the “pack my kid a portable charcuterie board” kind of parent. If you are, more power to you. I’m more of a “grab-and-go” type - I want something simple, nutritious, and easy for my kids to reach for as we’re heading out the door. That’s why I like Chomps. Their full-size meat sticks have 10 grams of protein and zero sugar. They’re filling and made from real ingredients, so it’s one less thing to think about. And if you’ve ever opened your kid’s backpack to find a half-eaten snack from who-knows-when still wrapped up in there, Chomplings are great. They’re smaller sticks (the right size to toss in a lunchbox or that little front backpack pocket) with 4 grams of protein and zero sugar.Chomps are made of high-quality ingredients like 100% grass-fed beef, venison, and antibiotic-free turkey. They’re also free from the top nine allergens, so you don’t have to worry about sending them to school. Check out all the sizes and delicious flavors at <a href="http://Chomps.com/DRBECKY">Chomps.com/DRBECKY</a> for 15% off plus free shipping.We say it all the time at Good Inside: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish - it’s self-sustaining.
