ABOUT ME:
I’m just a girl, standing in front of her kids, asking them to put down the iPad.
Actually, I’m Cynthia, a Colorado mom, reading all the research about kids, play, and tech, so that you don’t have to.
A UCLA-trained writer and stay-at-home mom, I’m obsessed with getting my children outside more. I truly believe that we need to return to the play-based childhood of the past, and get rid of the phone-based childhood that is increasing this generation’s depression, anxiety, and overall inability to be functioning humans.
Join me at ScreenLessPlayMore.com to learn the latest research on play, screen time, and child health. I’ll offer resources to enhance your parenting, and hopefully give you a laugh or two. Let’s all screen less and play more!
