200. Screen Time Limits for Kids: Why They Don’t Work Alone

Are you constantly wondering if your tween is ready for social media—or worried about how much screen time is too much?

If you’re a single parent trying to navigate your tween’s digital world, this episode breaks down the real challenges behind social media readiness. Tess and guest expert Dr. Melanie McNally, PsyD, explore why Gen Z’s relationship with social media is different, and how you can confidently guide your child through it—without constant arguments or fear.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Recognize the emotional and behavioral signs your tween isn’t ready for social media.
Talk about apps, content, and online behavior with curiosity and connection—not judgment.
Set healthy, realistic digital boundaries that fit your child’s needs—not society’s pressure.

🎧 Hit play now to remove the guesswork from screen time and start building a stronger, more open relationship with your tween around social media.
