Kailan Carr is on a mission to prioritize play for kids living in this screen saturated world. She is a former teacher with a masters degree in Literacy and founded Quiet Book Queen and Crafts in Between to make it easy for caregivers to use screen-free activities and more play in their day to day. Limiting screen time was (and still is) so important to her. It wasn’t easy, but it is SO worth it.

Her book Screens Away, Time To Play! is an award-winning children’s book inspiring screen-free activities and sparking conversations about screen time limits. Recommended by early childcare experts, pediatricians, and child psychologists! This lighthearted and playful rhyming book for ages 3-7 makes a difficult topic approachable.

You can find all of Kailan’s work at her website.

Hosted by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler.
