Chris Preksta - When should kids be free to explore and when should Mom and Dad set the parental controls?

Author: 105.9 The X (WXDX-FM) April 4, 2019 Duration: 1:02:06
This week we chat with the filmmaker behind Pittsburgh Dad, Streetlight Stories, The Mercury Men, and Echo Torch, Chris Preksta. As a stay at home Dad who is passionate about film, Chris’ young daughters have a front row seat to movie (and youtube) magic; but where does one set the limits with pop-culture and limit the screen time? When should kids be free to explore and when should Mom and Dad set the parental controls? Plus, how do stay at home parents ever get anything done? Grab yourself a life-size E.T. and a bowl of reese’s pieces and enjoy this week’s episode.

Abby Krizner from 105.9 The X and Bill Crawford from 102.5 DVE are your guides through the beautiful, messy reality of raising kids. Their The Parentcast is a weekly conversation that feels like grabbing coffee with friends who get it-the ones you can be completely real with. Forget perfect parenting advice; this is about shared experiences, from the hilarious misadventures to the moments that leave you utterly bewildered. They believe in learning through stories, venting without judgment, and finding the humor in the daily chaos. Every episode brings a new guest into the mix, offering fresh perspectives and practical insights on everything from sleepless nights with newborns to navigating the complex world of teenagers. It’s a resource for anyone on the journey, whether you’re anxiously awaiting your first child or deep in the trenches with a full house. Tune in to this candid podcast for a sense of solidarity and a reminder that you’re not figuring it out alone.
