1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: No Alice braiding again this week. I'm told she's playing 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: nurse more to sick kidlets, So instead we catch up 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: with old mate Danny Galloway from the parenting Place. It 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: turns out that your house isn't immune either. 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: I love the school holidays, but my husband week one 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 2: brought Durhams into our home. 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: He was so pro he's the coulprat he was. 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 2: Normally it's the kids, you know, kindy school, but he 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: brought it in. And now my two kids have got 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 2: some sort of flowey bug which has got high temps 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: and just feeling pretty man at the moment. 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: Who's tougher to manage the kids or the husband? Probably 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: every would say the exact same thing. 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: He walks around the house like, you know those sorts 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: of moans. I wants a bit of sympathy. 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: How do you mean to know that we're suffering if 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: we don't moan about it? Well, a few days left 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: of the school holiday break, and no doubt, especially if 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: they've been down and out with the bugs, there's been 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: a bit of screen time at your place, and certainly 21 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: the case at ours too. That's something I wanted to 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: word chat about today. How much screen time, there's too 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: much screen time, you reckon, Oh, that's just mean. 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: To talk about that, wilmost still in the school holidays. 25 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: I mean that's the Ministry of House. They've got their 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: recommendations and I don't even know if you want to 27 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: talk about it because it's quite depressing and we start 28 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: to feel like, oh no, we're failing as parents. But 29 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: I think it's more about looking at what the screen 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: time is and passive that scrolling that you do and 31 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 2: you lose hours of your life and you kind of 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: like jump through for the brain. So I think if 33 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: you're looking more for active screen time, you know when 34 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: you might have like the kids that are around and 35 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: they're trying to learn a dance or you know someone 36 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: older is learning coding or how to draw. So I think, 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: you know, like that sort of screen time you want 38 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: to lean into more. But yeah, the actual numbers, I 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: mean underto shouldn't be haveing any screen time, and then 40 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: you're only really looking at one or two hours a 41 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: day that they recommend. So it's wanting to use good 42 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: screen time and have those good outdoor breaks in between. 43 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: It would be the adults most guilty of the doom scrolling. 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: I have thought. We're growing up now on this digital 45 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: age and we hear so much about how these devices 46 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: can be beneficial. And you look at the money that 47 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: some people are starting to make encoding and gaming and 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So, I mean, Dana Galloway, 49 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: is technology really that bad? 50 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: Oh? There's some great stuff and technology. It's part of 51 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: our world and there's plenty to embrace about it. But 52 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: it's about finding balance, and it's about keeping our kids 53 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: safe online and having those conversations that they know what 54 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: the resks are. I read about how you know we're 55 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: that source of information. You know, if you start that 56 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: conversation with your kids about a particular thing about life, 57 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: you know it could be the risk online If you 58 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: start that conversation, when things come up, they come back 59 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: to you because you were the first source of that information. 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: So you want to be putting those conversations. You don't 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: want it to be Sarah and Science that's the go to, 62 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: or you know, googling online. You really want that connection. 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: And we talk about connection being a real tool when 64 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: it comes to digital online world and making sure that 65 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: we're in there and we're part of those conversations and 66 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: we're doing those daily chickens, and no, we want to 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: know what's happening in our kids world, you know, we 68 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: want to know what's happening with friendships and you know, 69 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: exams and talking about these things. But we also want 70 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: to go into their digital world. So if you've got 71 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: older kids that are on TikTok, you want to know, well, 72 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: who are you following at the moment, and oh, what 73 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: are you interested in? You don't want them going out 74 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: by themselves. You want to be going ahead and having 75 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: a lot and seeing what games they're on and what 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: they're into.
