In a recent podcast episode, Michelle Obama discussed the crucial role of parenting in guiding children's digital habits. She emphasized that parents must establish and maintain firm boundaries, as children will continuously test these limits. With cohost Craig Robinson, Obama highlighted their mother's wisdom: it's essential to not only say 'No' but to hold that line firmly and explain the reasons behind it. By doing so, parents ensure their children's safety while navigating today's screen-centric world.
"All they have time for is to outlast you, to wear you down," said Michelle Obama, highlighting the importance of parental boundaries.
"It's important for parents to set clear boundaries that they believe in and they stick to 'all the time,' since kids are always testing how far they can push."
"Saying 'No' is not just saying 'No,' it's holding your 'No' accountable," Robinson emphasized, adding that parents must explain their decisions.
"You will be doing your kids a favor when you enforce rules around their screen time and social media use," Obama advised.
