Screentime and mealtimes!

Becks never used a screen for her children at mealtimes, but that was only because she didn’t have a smart phone or ipad when they were little! There is no judgement here and also no need to despair if your children are watching a screen at mealtimes, all is not lost and this podcast will help! 

We talked about ... 

  • the reasons we might start letting our children have a screen at mealtime (surely it’s a good thing if the child is eating their food, is calm and isn’t bored?!)   
  • our own screen use – especially at meal times or when our children are eating. 
  • how focussing on a screen affects us and the way we eat. 
  • the benefits of family mealtimes and conversation. 
  • what we can do to help our little ones eat without a screen (and lots of ideas and suggestions for what to do instead!).
