Hello Reader, I've known Jayne for longer than I probably care to admit. We met at Wellesley, back when the biggest risk of saying something embarrassing was that a handful of friends might remember it years later. Thankfully, there was no social media documenting every questionable haircut (I had many), bad decision, or late-night philosophical debate. I've been lucky to have Jayne in my life all these years. For nearly a decade, we've been bouncing parenting ideas back and forth, asking...

Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, I noticed something about my own habits. Every morning there seemed to be another headline about children and technology. "Social media is destroying childhood." "AI is changing education." "Phones should be banned." "A new study says..." I would read them. Sometimes I'd send them to friends. Occasionally I'd save one because I thought, I should probably know this. But after reading enough of them, I realized something. The headlines were multiplying much faster...

Hello Reader, When I first imagined Infinite Halls, I knew I wanted it to be more than a collection of stories from parents. I wanted to create a space where I could sit down with people who've spent years thinking deeply about children, relationships, technology, and learning. The people whose work quietly shapes families, even if their names aren't the ones making headlines. I wanted a place where I could ask them the questions I've been wrestling with myself—and invite all of us into that...

Hello Reader, When I first imagined Infinite Halls, I knew the conversations I wanted to have. I just had absolutely no idea how to make a podcast. Editing? Audio? Publishing? I was completely clueless. Around that same time, Wellesley sent out a call to alumnae: Hire a summer intern. Tina applied. A rising sophomore studying Psychology and Sociology at the time, she casually mentioned she’d already produced and hosted her own podcast in high school. Perfect. Because I needed someone who knew...

DearReader, Oof. This is my wake up moment in the next podcast episode. Mary is standing in a government center with her son, Alex. He needs to use the bathroom. She shows his disability card. She tries to explain. There's a language barrier. The staff member doesn't understand. And before she can bridge that gap, he wets himself. In public. In front of other families. She described it as dehumanizing. What struck me wasn't just the incident itself. It was realizing that for Mary, this wasn't...

Spring 2026 Round Up June 15, 2026 Hello Reader! I hope this newsletter finds you like a first sip of coffee or that evening cup of tea—comforting, energizing, and perhaps offering a small moment to pause before the day begins or ends. I can't believe it's already June. When I first started Infinite Screentime, I used to send seasonal updates sharing what I was learning from conversations with parents, educators, researchers, and young people. Somewhere along the way, life got busy, the work...

DearReader, I need to tell you, months ago, while editing this first inaugural episode late at night, I found myself pausing the audio over and over at the exact same moment. Not during the part about Instagram.Not during the part about lying.Not even during the reveal that an 11-year-old had secretly been traveling across Hong Kong sourcing inventory for her business. It was the pause afterward. The silence where Christine — a mother, educator, and someone who deeply believed she had done...

Hey Reader, And I think I’ve been avoiding saying it out loud because… once I do, I can’t really take it back. But here it is. There is no one way to do screen time. Not the right way.Not the expert way.Not the “if you just follow these five steps everything will be fine” way. There’s only… your way. And honestly? I don’t have it figured out. hmm. Over the years—through my clients, through conversations at schools and companies, through late-night texts with other parents—I’ve learned...
