Let’s face it – we’re all addicted to our screens.
Who doesn’t scroll through their Facebook feed or flick through Instagram every time they have a few spare seconds to kill?
But it pays to be mindful of your own screen time as well as your children’s.
In this video, beauty and wellbeing writer Yasemin Trollope and Mamamia writer Jo Abi talk about the need to be a good digital role model for your kids and striking a balance between the real and online worlds — and they have some insights that are definitely worth sharing.

I have to hide my tablet from my sons they are obsessed with it! Interesting to see that HP have made a kids tablet, mine would love this. If you can put parental locks on it this could solve all my problems...
Ohh I love Yaz, she's so gorgeous. Also so true about children picking up screen habits so quickly from those around them. Not just from parents, also siblings and friends. This kind of technology definitely has it's place. Great for learning no matter what age you are. I remember when I used to have to flick through a 24 set edition of encyclopedia's to complete my school projects. So glad we don't have to do THAT anymore.
