Rethinking Screen Time: Why Quality Matters More Than Quantity
Om denne podcast
Looking for a place to educate you and your family to live your best lives? Welcome to Growing Up with Dr. Sarah, where we take on - and tackle - general health and wellness, parental issues, family matters, and real life challenges that affect every single one of us. Being a pediatrician, while having a mother's perspective, has given me unique insight and experience on what we all need to do better to live healthier, happier, and stronger as individuals...and as families. The success of the family starts from the top, and by helping parents by addressing tough questions and everyday concerns we can all benefit - parents, grandparents, kids, or anyone who cares for another. So join me and some of my special guests - physicians, nutritionists, fitness experts, community members, coaches, teachers, even kids and parents; and let’s all make a commitment to Growing Up...together
