Andrew joined CBC News Network and CBC Radio’s Cross Country Checkup for a one-hour conversation on summer screen time—asking whether we’re demanding too much of kids or not enough of parents.

It’s the dog days of summer, and for many families that means a tug-of-war between the iPad and the park. Who’s really struggling more to unplug—kids or parents? We explored practical ways to set boundaries and reclaim real-world connection, the kind that becomes warm summertime memories in the years to come. Our question: How’s the fight to cut screen time going this summer? Are we expecting too much from kids or not enough from parents?
