How the Unplugged Parenting journey began

We’re so glad you have joined this beautiful parenting community. A community where like-minded parents are coming together to help our families come out from behind the screens to experience and enjoy life.  My name is Katie, founder of Unplugged Parenting
 Mom to a 2 year old, and almost 1 year old. Wife. Part-time stay at home mom. Part-time pediatric primary care triage nurse. Pediatric nurse practitioner student. Lover of slow mornings, traveling, nature, reading, and non-toxic living.   Unplugged Parenting was born two-fold out of my experiences raising two young kids screen-limited and due to my concerns and heartache from getting surges of calls at work from struggling parents detailing increases in anxiety, depression, behavior issues, attention problems, and social concerns,  in their children as young as 3! Often these parents site their child's screen-time being up to 6-8 hours per day for non educational purposes!   
Whether you intuitively know you want to raise your kids screen-limited, or your family rhythm is struggling due to screens, we are here to hold your hand and guide the way to a more balanced and abundant life through examining your and your family’s relationships to screens, reducing consumption, and creating more fulfilling balance and connection in your family’s lives.  Let's get started reclaiming childhood, and parenthood!
