Episode Summary 01: Building a better relationship with screen time

Thanks to those of you who completed the recent survey on how I can serve you better, some changes are coming to the YPM world! While most respondents said they loved the length of the episodes because they appreciate how much detail we can get into in that time, a number of people said they had trouble finding the time to listen to longer episodes, as well as share them with others. Our long episodes aren’t going anywhere; I love being able to truly understand an issue and have deep conversations with experts. But I hear you that it can be hard to find an hour to listen! That’s why I’m going to start creating summary episodes. This first one summarizes the last two episodes on the topic of video games - both the conversation with @TheGamerEducator Ash Brandin, and my narrated episode on what children learn from video games. You’ll get my take-home ideas from both episodes in less than 12 minutes! If you’re starting to see the deep learning that children are doing while they’re playing video games and want to support them in having more of these kinds of experiences…but without using screens all the time, the You Are Your Child’s Best Teacher workshop will help you. We’ll help you learn how to use your child’s questions and your observations about their interests to support them in deep, intrinsically motivated learning. You’ll learn: -Learn how to use your child's interests as a jumping off point for deep, self-driven learning -Show (to yourself and others!) that your child is engaged in complex, multi-faceted learning -Reimagine what learning looks like (it can be exciting and fun, and not something you have to bribe your child to do!) -Understand your values about learning so you can do activities that are aligned with those values -Be and believe you can be your child's best teacher - whether or not your child is in school We’ll get started next Wednesday, so sign up now: www.yourparentingmojo.com/bestteacher
