Ruston succinctly explains the campaign’s goals, the science behind it, and how you can participate in making screen-free sleep the norm in your child’s school and community. This includes resources like iSleep Pro kits and a fun flash mob dance.
She also offers practical solutions to some of the common challenges parents face when creating tech-free sleep for their kids and tweens. It all wraps up with lively “Man on the Street” interviews with parents and kids, making it a perfect listen for adults to enjoy together with their children.
