Watch this weird parenting trick that feels illegal, involves screen time, and 🤯

We were trying to pack for a cruise, running out of time, and I still had an entire upstairs that needed to be cleaned. I couldn’t micromanage the kids because I had a million things to finish before we left. I was SO close to losing it when I remembered our Happy Hubbard’s circus video we’d just w

What kids watch is shaping who they become, and parents need to pay attention

What do you think we should do about it it? The internet is raising kids to value attention more than character. So much of what gets pushed by algorithms is fast, loud, shocking, and honestly not always what we want our kids soaking in. We’re going against the algorithm to give parents the e

Free play didn’t come from less screens, it came from these two simple shifts. 🫣

I used to think free play meant removing all screen time so my kids would actually play without me… until we changed two things: 1) short, predictable TV blocks during real life moments (homeschooling another child, naps, cooking). 2) we broke up with most favorite shows and started using a simple

Our kids notice… but productivity and numbing out can look the same.

I don’t talk much about this side of our kids YouTube channel, but I will start. I work 8-10 hours a week on a screen. Grocery shopping, play dates, addresses, recipes, music, audiobooks, appointments, baby monitor, and more happen there too. Imagine two scenarios: 1) Every minute on your phone is

This might backfire.. but I’m oversharing failure in real time.

The algorithm and I want completely different things for kids… The hardest part of building our kids YouTube channel @happyhubbards isn’t creating the videos. It’s finding the parents that want “against the grain content”. While the internet rewards flashy, high-stimulation content, we’re bet

I am bawling making this video 😭 time isn’t athief… it is a gift.

4 year old Zane looked intently at Aurie the morning of her 6th birthday… scanning his sister from her head to her toes, with a scowl on his face said, “You don’t look 6. You still look 5.” 😂 If only his statement were the reality. It is evident in the years that pass, not the days that go by.

4 year old catches a snake! How did he learn?

The kiss at the end 😭 What if the things we fear most are actually the greatest opportunities to teach our kids something real? We’re not anti-screen. We’re pro-purpose. We believe kids’ screen time should build curiosity, not kill it. Real life learning moments like this one are exactly why we

Real parenting lives in the middle of screens…

Parenting online can feel like you’re always one choice away from doing it “wrong.” So many parents carry guilt over screen time, or pressure to eliminate it completely, like one decision defines the whole childhood. The truth is most families are just trying to get through real days with real kids

Why parents don’t trust kids screentime…

Parents aren’t just picking shows anymore… we’re watching what happens after the screen turns off. The moods, the energy, the meltdowns, the constant “what next?” So a lot of us are starting to choose differently. Not perfect, just more aware. More intentional. We started creating something w

Her laugh will melt your soul

Are we surprised our kids feel overstimulated and impatient when their schedules are packed, their shows are fast-paced, loud, flashy, and even sassy, and we as parents are often on our devices more than with them? The shift shows up fast when we make small changes: more intentional content, les

Are screens helping them…

If we’re being honest… are screens helping our kids, or just helping us get through the day? I used to feel that tension hard. The whining, the mood swings, the constant asking for more… and still reaching for screens because I needed a minute. Until I made a switch. We didn’t go screen-free

Stop Splitting Wood: Teach Kids to Use a Drill

Most kids aren’t lacking ability, they’re lacking exposure. If we never hand them real tools, we can’t expect real skills. A split piece of wood isn’t failure, it’s feedback. This is how kids learn patience, problem-solving, and confidence that actually transfers to real life. Screens aren

Wait… when did kids change the happy birthday song

Is this how kids sing Happy Birthday now?! 😂 Aurie (5) hit us with the full remix… cha-cha-cha, ooh la la, hot lava and all. When did this even become a thing, and is it just Utah or everywhere? I need answers because I swear this wasn’t the ending when we were kids. Is the classic birthday song go

Fun math song to teach your Kindergartener!

Learning the 3 times table doesn’t have to be boring. We turned memorizing multiples of 3 into a real-life, playful experience my 5-year-old actually enjoyed and understood. When kids learn through play, repetition, and music, they retain more and apply it in everyday life. Save this to teach y

Blippi changed?Low stimulation shows vs fast paced

I’ve noticed a shift in Blippi. The original style from Stevin John felt slower, low stimulation, and truly educational for toddlers and preschoolers. Since Moonbug Entertainment acquired it in 2020, it feels more fast paced, louder, and harder for kids to look away. With shows like Cocomelon and L

The Real Reason Kids Can’t Focus

Most kids aren’t struggling with focus, they’re adapting to what they consume daily. When content is fast, loud, and constantly rewarding, real life can feel underwhelming. That’s why we created The Happy Hubbard’s, calm, real-life videos that support attention, curiosity, and independent play. If

Proof parents can’t win with screen time…

Every screen time choice is under a microscope these days. Instead of second guessing everything, do what works in your home & let society judge. For us, Aurie (5) and Zane (4) watch for 30 mins per day when I put Jax (1) down for his naps. We choose low stim, real-life, positive, family-foc

If Screens Leave Your Kids Wired, Try This Instead

If your child watches a show and comes out wired, melts down when it ends, and suddenly “nothing else sounds fun”… this is for you. That post-screen chaos isn’t random. It’s what fast, overstimulating content does. The good news? You don’t have to cut screen time. You can replace it. We
