What if the way to help our kids with screen time isn’t to start with another rule—but to ask them what they see when they’re on the other side of that screen?In this episode of Infinite Halls, I sit down with my friend Rashida and her 12-year-old son, Burhan, for something a little different.Instead of interviewing a parent about her child’s screen time, I invited them both to the conversation.Rashida is a yoga and fitness instructor who spends her days teaching presence, wellness, and human connection. Burhan is an articulate, active 12-year-old who loves cricket, chess—and Roblox. He’s also one of the few students in his year without his own mobile phone. And like so many parents and kids, they don’t always see eye to eye about screens.For Rashida, watching her son immersed in Roblox can look like time lost to a screen—time that could be spent talking, playing, creating, or connecting with people face-to-face.For Burhan, that same screen looks completely different.He sees friends. Games they play together. Strategy. Challenges. Downtime after a long day at school. And a digital space that feels social and meaningful to him. Pasted markdownSo rather than debate who was right, I asked them to get curious.What does Burhan wish his mom understood about Roblox?What goes through his mind when she tells him it’s time to log off?What does Rashida actually worry about when she sees him on a screen?Does she ever lose track of time on her own phone?And perhaps most importantly: what do they miss about each other when screens get in the way?The answers surprised both of them.Burhan explains why being asked to stop in the middle of a multiplayer game can feel so frustrating—and offers parents a wonderfully practical idea: before telling a child to log off, ask whether they’re in the middle of something and give them a heads-up about how much time they have. Pasted markdownRashida admits that she loses track of time scrolling too. And as Burhan describes Roblox in more detail, she begins to understand why it can be so absorbing. Then the conversation gets more personal.Rashida tells Burhan that what she really misses isn’t simply a life with less screen time.She misses him.She misses sitting together, hearing him tell stories about his day, chatting about random things, and playing a simple card game.Burhan’s response is beautiful: he had never really thought about it from his mom’s perspective. And by the end, something has shifted.Rashida decides she wants to try playing Roblox with her son—not because she suddenly thinks all screen time is wonderful, but because she realizes that understanding his world could become another way to connect with him.Burhan, in turn, says that maybe when he comes home from school, he could talk to his mom about his day before immediately going to his screen.Maybe then, he says, they could have a “peaceful agreement rather than an argument.” Together, we explore:Why kids and parents can look at exactly the same screen and see completely different thingsWhat children may actually be doing and experiencing when they’re gamingWhy stopping a game mid-play can be so frustratingHow parents can make transitions away from screens easierWhy adults need to acknowledge our own struggles with screen timeHow curiosity can change a screen time argumentWhy joining our kids in their digital worlds can sometimes bring us closerWhat our kids might learn if we tell them what we actually missHow listening can create space for trust, connection, and compromiseThis episode isn't really about Roblox.It’s about how hard it can be to see the world through someone else’s screen.One person sees distraction.The other sees connection.One sees time disappearing.The other sees friends waiting on the other side.And somewhere between those two perspectives is a place where parents and kids can begin to understand each other.Maybe screen time balance doesn’t always begin with logging off.Sometimes it begins by logging into each other’s worlds.🎧 If you’ve ever found yourself standing behind your child wondering, “What could possibly be so interesting about that screen?”—this conversation is for you.No judgment. No rules. Just a mom, a son, and an honest conversation about growing up together in a world of screens.CHAPTERS:00:00 Welcome to Infinite Halls01:36 Meet Rashida and Burhan05:49 Screen Time Tensions06:59 Why Roblox Matters09:02 Wellness vs Virtual Life11:45 Asking Each Other23:43 Lessons and FarewellYou can find more from me at: https://infinitescreentime.comFollow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescreentime/Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arcadiakim/No judgment.
