A Conversation about screens with @thegamereducator Ash Brandin Am I a better caregiver if my kids get less screen time? Will they get addicted if I let them watch more than one hour of TV a day? Or will they turn violent because of a shooter game? None of these questions can be answered with yes or no – screen time is not «bad» per se.

Plus: they share the no. 1 parenting tipp: how to pull the plug on the screen with no tears. Bin ich eine bessere Betreuungsperson, wenn meine Kinder weniger Bildschirmzeit haben?
