open? >> no, i'm the one that's quiet. that's my cousin lauren. i am the one with the really beautiful bangs. >> that was you. >> the '90s haircut sitting on my dad's lap looking very well behaved. if you zoom in, i think what had happened was i had just provoked lauren or possibly pinched her or scratched her. on my face, it's a face that looks a little bit like this. >> you did something? >> like -- >> the cat that swallowed the canary. >> sort of. >> you knew you got busted. >> when kids misbehave. well, not really. i don't like it when kids misbehave, but kids are kids no matter what. >> this is from -- is this 2001? >> no, it's the same one. >> where is your sister? >> the big one in the middle. >> there's your mom and dad and grandparents. >> and that first inauguration

they were going to let me bring in some of my own music, we kept th the iconic songs but that was a way to put my own spin on it without feeling too contrived. >> "wind beneath my wings" is still in it. >> "glory of love." and then lifetime let me have a song on my album called "last time." >> had you written it for this? >> no, i was writing it for my album. a friend of mine lost someone in their life and had all this regret about not saying what they should have said before it happened and the show came along, the movie and i said i don't want to push my own stuff but they were so receptive to it. >> had you worked with nia long before? >> no. she's in the movie "love jones" and i thought she was amazing. then i met her a bunch of times because she worked with my ex-husband and did a lot of sexy

are busy or doing something you want your child to be occupied, whether at a restaurant or whatnot. you hand them an ipad and think, oh, so what. but what are we actually doing to our kids' brains by giving them all this time? >> touch screens are in their infancy. they really only have been out five to seven years. research on it is not so great and it's still in its infancy. but what we do know is that it seems that it's a much more active activity than things like watching television. most of the research we look at is television. television is passive watching. apps get kids involved. they are doing something. they have to manipulate. it helps with fine motor skills, can help with cognitive development, creativity and attention. there's a whole bunch of really great stuff because a lot of the apps especially for kids are interactive. so there are things we have to do. we also know it's sedentary. they're not moving. it's not as active. so that's one of the real downfalls because it can create health problems and that kind of

hyperfocus with forgetting -- also my biggest pet peeve is when the whole family are on their phone. it must also disturb like the intimacy of conversation and family. and these stats, nine hours of social media a day that teenagers are spending -- not social media but some kind of media in six hours. >> kids and teens spending six to ten hours a day on some sort of screen. >> that's too much, right? >> it may be too much and we have to figure out, schools are using computers and ipads to have them do their homework. i have clients that do their homework while face time with friends and doing their homework together. we all got together and did homework with kids around the kitchen table. it's a different way of thinking. >> let's look at ways to cut down on screen time. ten hours is way too much. okay. so what are some things we can do for our kids? >> you have to kind of be aware of what's happening, right?

we want to start to think about what it is. what are you doing? we were talk bfing before the segment started. how much are you on? >> it's important for parents to take responsibility for their own actions. if you aren't aware of your own usage it's hard to monitor someone else's use amg. see how many hours you're on your own. >> what else? >> we want to increase conversations. have tech-free time. everybody. pick a time. dinner. an hour on a sunday. create family time, no tech. teach, how do you make eye contact, how do you shake hands? how do you ask someone how they're doing which is also manners. we forget those simple things in the world. >> quickly talk about a contract for your tweens or teens. >> create a way you have a contract. their phone is a prif levilegep a right. they are borrowing it. >> jen heartstein. >> team sue, sue rocks.
