Healthy Habits for Healthy Minds: Screens, Sleep, and Winter Routines
In this episode of Parenting Unfiltered, host Sara Kapp talks with Dr. Shauna Eberhardt, a clinical leader who blends research with real-life routines families can keep. As days get shorter and schedules shift, Dr. Eberhardt shares simple ways to balance screens and sleep for kids 0–8, without guilt or power struggles. You’ll hear how to set realistic screen-time guardrails (hello, co-viewing and content checks), why sleep is a foundational mental health need, and how to build a wind-down routine that sticks. Dr. Eberhardt offers doable ideas like swapping phones for audiobooks at bedtime (try a Bluetooth speaker on a timer), using “highs and lows” to wrap up the day, and gamifying small changes when habits slide. Her message for the darker months: grant yourself grace, model balance, and start small. “It’s never too late to make changes,” she says. Whether you’re navigating after-school meltdowns, holiday overstimulation, or a child who wants “just five more minutes,” this episode gives you quick wins you can try tonight.
