No matter how much we want to stick our head in the sand, the truth is that families need a plan when it comes to technology. I give you - Andrea Davis, founder of Better Screen Time. Andrea wants parents to worry about tech less and connect with our kids more. She takes a "slow tech, relationship-first approach," and you are going to love her insight.
On episode 51, we chat:
- Why it's important to set screen time boundaries
- Thinking intentionally about WHERE tech is used, HOW tech is used, and WHEN
- Doing the work to model good screen time behaviors
- The mental health battle our young teens are likely to experience with social media before they are ready
- How to know when your kid is ready for their own device
- What age should a child get a phone
and...
- Andrea's 4 Phone Process that she recommends to parents she works with
Honestly, I'm biased but I think every parent out there should give this one a listen. Tech is only getting bigger and the sooner we are having conversations with our kids - the better!
