Andrea Davis on Creating a Tech Healthy Family

Do your kids spend too much time on tech? Have computers, smartphones, or video consoles taken the place of spending time together in the home? Here’s how your family can navigate device use and set boundaries by setting your tech intention and creating a family technology plan.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• What it means to have a solid family technology plan

• 2 of the Must-Have Conversations for Creating a Tech-Healthy Family

• How to decide when kids get cell phones

• What to consider if we don't see eye to eye with our spouse on this topic

Key Points:

• You can’t shame your family into having better tech habits. 

• It’s common for parents to not see eye to eye on technology use. This can be a benefit because it will bring balance to the conversation. 

• Good tech habits start with the parents. We can be the change we want to see.
