Description

How do you handle screen time in your home?Let’s face it - screens aren’t going away. We live in a day and age where screens are everywhere. But here’s the thing - they don’t have to rule our family’s lives. While not all screen time is ‘bad,’ it’s important to understand the development of our children’s brains and how time on the screen affects that development. For instance, 90% of the human brain is developed by the age of 5. When our young children are subjected to screens, their brains begin to think that they need that stimulation to stay entertained. In this episode, we aim to help you understand more about your child’s brain development and encourage you to make more educated decisions regarding their screen time.If you’ve not limited screen time up to this point - take a deep breath - your children are going to be fine. This episode is not intended to bring guilt or shame. We simply want to help you navigate something that no other generation of parenting has had to navigate to this degree.You’re doing great!Episode Highlights: What parents need to know about brain development.Understanding brain stimulation.Finding balance in screen time.Letting our kids be bored.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon’s Website

Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids. As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii. From there, our whole world opened up.We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life - and that’s what we want to share with you.We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it. It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” - but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms. This is our story. How will you write yours?
