Screen Time Panic: A Realistic Guide for Parents (2026)

Screen Time: The Parenting Conundrum

Are you a parent feeling overwhelmed by the screen time debate? You're not alone. I've spent countless hours listening to podcasts on the impact of screens on children and how to manage screen time, yet I still felt ill-equipped when my own child arrived. It's a common dilemma, as the information out there is often theoretical and lacks practical application.

In this week's podcast, we're joined by Patrick Klepek, a seasoned video game journalist and parent. Patrick co-founded Remap, a website and podcast exploring the world of video games, and writes Crossplay, a newsletter on the intersection of parenting and gaming. His unique perspective, born from years of reporting and personal experience, offers valuable insights into screen time, parental controls, and more.

Join us for an enlightening conversation that will resonate with parents and non-parents alike. Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Become a paid subscriber for early access to exclusive interview episodes and support our journalism.
