We often focus on limiting and banning our kids’ screen time—but what if the most effective digital parenting conversations require a completely different approach, one that starts with curiousity, not control?
In this episode, Dr. Cindy Hovington is joined by bestselling author Jessica Joelle Alexander to explore how we can reframe and shift from control to curiosity & learning in the digital world—together with our children.
Jessica, author of the global best-seller The Danish Way of Parenting and her latest book, The Danish Way Every Day shares what she’s learned from living in Denmark—one of the happiest countries in the world—and how its unique approach to parenting (including its unique culture of togetherness and hygge) reframes everything from screen time to emotional connection.
Drawing from her books and her Raising Digital Citizens Conversation Cards, she reveals the powerful conversations we aren’t having—but should be—to support digital well-being for you and your children and deeper family connection.
🔑 What You’ll Hear:
• What Jessica learned from Danish parenting —and what that means for screen time for your kids
• How curiousity & reframing can help nurture better convesations & stronger connections for your family - even in the digital world
• How the right conversations can reveal your own blindspots around the digital world.
• How a "balancing versus banning" approach works
• Learning about digital safety, consent, critical thinking and more - as a team
• How you might be modeling your child’s digital habits without realizing it
📚 Mentioned in This Episode:
