Paul WorkusHOST
So how do you go about talking to parents about effective and safe use of screens?

Mark WittGUEST
Yeah, I think, first of all, it is a challenge because it's ever-present, right? And if you're not careful, they'll just go get it somewhere else, a friend's house or whatever.

Mark WittGUEST
And so I do think it's a topic that we address, and certainly parents ask about it quite often, how do I do this? And I am glad that the statement does suggest that everybody's different in terms of each child's different and each family's different.

Mark WittGUEST
So it allows a little bit of that wiggle room and not that hard and fast to our limit.

Mark WittGUEST
And so to me, I often, and I don't know about, and you can probably speak even as well or better than I, Paul, but to me, it's always been about What is that screen time replacing? We need to keep the dinner time.

Paul WorkusHOST
