Screens are everywhere. But what does that actually mean for our babies and their developing brains?
In this first episode of Season 3, we’re exploring screen time through the lens of Montessori philosophy and early childhood development. Rather than approaching the conversation with judgment or fear, we’re looking at what babies actually need during their earliest years and how we can support their development in an increasingly digital world.
In this episode, we explore:
How babies learn through sensory experiences and real-world interactions
What current research tells us about screen time in early childhood
The difference between passive screen use and meaningful interactions
Why serve-and-return experiences are so important for developing brains
How Montessori principles can help us navigate screen time with greater intention
Finding balance without the pressure of being a perfect parent
Whether you’re navigating screen time for the first time or reconsidering your family’s approach, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and look at development through a different lens.
