Practical and Helpful Advice. Highly Recommend.

This book is a game changer! This was exactly what I needed. I'm a newish parent trying to figure out how to manage screen time without feeling like the "bad guy." Payne breaks things down in such a simple, no-nonsense way. She explains how tech affects our kids and gives super practical tips for setting boundaries that actually work.

I also loved all the ideas for activities that don’t involve screens. It’s not just about cutting back on tech; it’s about finding ways to connect as a family.

A lot of Great Information

There are many really good points in this audiobook. One in particular stood out to me: what your children are picking up on from you subconsciously and how that will naturally determine future behaviors. It has made me realise that as a parent I must be conscious of my behaviors and manage my state well. The narration is clear and positive but perhaps a little dry after some time. However, overall this book is strong and hold a lot of good information about how to set the right environment and how to establish positive rules and guides for technology so that screen time doesn't become all ruling!

Such a good parenting book!

I’ve really been struggling as a parent as of late. My son has been watching too much tv as of late and I know I need to ingrain better habit for his future. This book has really helped me feel more positive about how I can raise him and I’m excited to implement what I’ve learned!

clear strategies for managing screen time

"Parenting Glow Kids" is a practical and insightful listen for parents trying to balance technology and family life. The audiobook covers how screens influence kids and gives clear strategies for managing screen time while fostering strong relationships. I appreciated how it doesn’t demonize tech but instead encourages a balanced approach. The reflection questions and activities sprinkled throughout were a great way to pause and think about my own parenting habits.

The narration is easy to follow, though it can feel a bit monotone at times, which made it harder to stay fully engaged for over five hours. Still, the content is rich with actionable advice, and it gave me new ideas to try with my family. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the tech battle at home, this audiobook is worth a listen.

Necessary Information For Mental Health

Eliza Payne's Parenting Glow Kids is an excellent audiobook. She writes from a place of knowledge, compassion, and understanding. She makes it clear from the beginning that she has experienced what many of us have with the balance between the usefulness of technology and the crutch and addiction that it can become. She gives numerous tips and strategies to rein in the technology, such as using boundaries that need to be enforced, being on the same page with your partner, consistently implementing the actions, and replacing screen time with meaningful connective activities. She reminds us to reinforce the values we want our family to hold and experience. Highly recommend
