In this episode of the Child Psych Podcast, we're joined by mindfulness expert and author of Raising Good Humans, Hunter Clarke-Fields. Together, we respond to a heartfelt question from a parent facing daily battles over screen time—despite having clear rules in place.
Hunter helps us unpack why these transitions can be so triggering, and what to do when staying calm feels out of reach. We explore the emotional weight many parents carry, how our own childhood experiences can shape our reactions, and how mindfulness can become a powerful tool for self-regulation. Hunter walks us through the RAIN acronym, shares her two guiding questions for challenging moments, and helps us reframe boundaries as compassionate, consistent acts of leadership.
Whether you’re navigating screen time meltdowns or simply trying to show up with more presence, this conversation is filled with practical, empowering tools for every parent.
