If screen time feels like a double-edged sword — lifesaving for your sanity but meltdown-inducing when it’s time to turn it off — you’re not alone.

In today’s episode of Sensory Savvy Mama, we’re talking about screens, sensory needs, and how to use technology intentionally without guilt, shame, or chaos.

This is not an anti-screen episode.

This is a compassion-first, nervous-system-first approach to using screens as a tool — especially for neurodivergent kids who feel safe, regulated, and predictable when they’re watching or playing.
