Screens are part of modern family life—even for the youngest kids. But between expert warnings, parental guilt, and endless advice, many parents feel lost about how much is too much and how to make tech use positive instead of harmful. The truth? You don’t need perfection—you need balance.
Tiny Hands, Big Screens is a beginner-friendly guide for parents of children ages 0–5 who want clear, guilt-free guidelines for introducing technology. This book cuts through the noise with practical strategies for choosing age-appropriate content, setting screen-time routines, and blending digital tools with real-world play.
You’ll learn how to manage video calls with grandparents, balance tablets with outdoor time, and create simple family tech habits that support healthy development. No judgment, no shame—just practical solutions that work for busy modern families.
Parenting toddlers is already challenging. With the right zero-guilt approach, technology can become a tool for connection and learning, not a constant source of stress.
