Putting Parenting Guilt on Trial: Challenging the Screen Time Stigma
- This week, Lingokids introduced its most extensive campaign yet in the U.S., designed to help parents of young children overcome feelings of guilt related to screen time through a variety of outreach channels.
- The campaign responds to widespread guilt experienced by over 74% of American parents regarding their children's screen use and limited peer discussion, with only 10% frequently sharing concerns.
- Featuring 11 unaware parents who discuss managing screen time amid societal pressures, the campaign highlights that nearly 90% of parents allow screens and many believe moderated use benefits child development.
- The Lingokids app, which has been downloaded over 165 million times worldwide, features a wide array of educational and entertaining shows and games for children, while Dr. Mona notes that modern parents, despite facing greater pressures, place a strong emphasis on emotional bonding and open communication.
- The campaign suggests that feeling guilty over screen time is unnecessary, as captured by the phrase, "you're not guilty, you're human," encouraging parents to seek balanced, realistic solutions.
