Brett and Laura Chotkevys

In this episode, Brett and Laura Chotkevys discuss screen time! If you have kids, you know how much social media has integrated with their lives. Social media apps like TikTok and Instagram's largest demographic of users are under the age of 18. Nowadays, it’s their way of sharing pop culture and learning about world events. However, a very scary realization for Brett and Laura is that the average screen time for a kid is over 7 hours long. This is why Brett and Laura wanted this episode to be about why you should heavily limit your children’s screen time.


In their household, Brett and Laura only allow their kids 45 minutes a day on the iPad. They also monitor everything that their kids are watching, the apps they are using, and even who they are talking to online. There are a handful of reasons why Brett and Laura decided to do this. For one, they noticed that when their kids were on social media for an extended period, it seemed that their personalities changed. Another huge reason why Brett and Laura limit screen time is because it’s such a huge time sink. Think about all you can do with those 7 hours you are not on your phone. Brett and Laura’s kids can run a business, invest in real estate, and continue to learn and grow while still having plenty of time to play with friends and socialize. Obviously, when the kids get older. Brett and Laura will start introducing a little more freedom when it comes to how they use social media and screen time, However, for now, they prioritize their kids' health, safety, and well-being.
