During a new episode of ‘The Kardashians‘ on Hulu, Kim Kardashian was talking with her sister, Khloe, about how much more peaceful her home is now that she’s stricter as a parent.
She admitted to being too lenient for years because it was easier than arguing with her kids. But after getting some advice from a therapist recently, Kim is taking back control of her household.
Well I think I started to see a therapist, and I just saw her once, but the simplest thing that she told me was to take down screen time. And of course you’re like ‘Duh. Of course.’ But having strict rules, like there can be no phones during meals, they’re going to fight and kick and scream for a week and you’ve gotta get through it.
That’s such a great place to start! Most experts agree kids these days are having too much screen time, and some believe it’s impacting their mental growth.
So good on Kim for taking the first step by making it a rule you can’t have phones during family meals. In the past, she wouldn’t have implemented such a rule, because she wouldn’t have wanted to deal with the complaining, but she’s a new mom now.
I’m gonna have to go through the hard times of, like, whining and crying of, ‘Why are you changing the rules? I used to have my device all the time.’ I’m like, ‘No it’s gonna be this way.’ So I just changed a lot of little things around my house. I’m basically turning into Kourtney and Khloé. So maybe Khloé was a little right?
That actually might be the hardest part of this whole thing for Kim… admitting her sisters were right!
