What if the real question isn't whether screens are replacing books…But whether they're revealing the values that were there all along?In this episode of Infinite Halls, I sit down with my neighbour Candace, whose childhood was built around one simple family value: reading.She grew up in Trinidad and Tobago as one of six siblings in a home where books were everywhere. Television wasn't forbidden—it just wasn't the center of family life. Reading was.Not because anyone forced it.Because it was simply what the family did.Today, Candace is raising two daughters in Hong Kong, and those same values are meeting a very different world.Kindles.Audiobooks.Podcasts.Algorithms.A daughter who devours political biographies.Another who dreams of becoming an author.And a nightly ritual where the whole family climbs into bed, each with their own book.At first glance, this sounds like a story about books versus screens.It isn't.It's a story about values.Together, we explore questions that many families are quietly asking:How do family values shape our relationship with technology?When does a Kindle become more than "just another screen"?How do we encourage curiosity without becoming rigid about the format?What happens when technology strengthens a value instead of replacing it?How do we raise readers in a world where stories come through books, podcasts, audiobooks, and screens?One of my favorite moments comes when Candace reflects that reading was never a rule in her family.It was simply part of who they were.That idea stayed with me.Because perhaps our children don't remember every rule we make around technology.They remember what our family consistently values.This conversation also challenged one of my own assumptions.Maybe we spend too much time debating the medium.Paperback or Kindle?Audiobook or printed page?Screen or no screen?What if the more important question is:Is this technology helping my child become more curious?Candace also shares the honest realities of parenting in the digital age—from hiding Kindles under pillows to negotiating bedtime device handoffs, balancing delayed gratification, and discovering that her younger daughter, who experienced a little more freedom growing up, may have developed more independence because of it.This isn't a story about banning screens.And it isn't a story about embracing every new technology.It's a story about holding onto your family's values while remaining open to new ways those values can flourish.Because stories have always shaped us.The format may change.The values don't have to.If you've ever wondered how to preserve what matters most while raising kids in a rapidly changing digital world, this episode is for you.No judgment. No rules. Just a real story from inside the endless twists and turns of raising kids in a world of screens.If this episode resonated with you, follow Infinite Halls so you don't miss what's next—and share it with someone who's trying to raise curious, thoughtful kids in the digital age.CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome to Infinite Halls01:34 Candace’s Reading Roots02:54 Books Over TV Childhood06:50 Screens Enter the Home10:19 SPONSOR: Mums@Play12:20 Kindles and New Reading15:53 The 8:30 Device Hand-In18:50 Values, Balance, and FarewellYou can find more from me at:https://infinitescreentime.comFollow along on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/infinitescreentime/Connect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/arcadiakim/No judgment.
