Episode notes
Emulate Responsible Tech Use
- Model responsible tech use for your kids, as they follow your example more than your words.
- Even private tech habits have a spiritual impact on your family, so cultivate the behaviors you desire in your children.
Choose Your Tech Approach
- Consciously choose your family's tech approach: repudiation (screen-free) or integration (thoughtful introduction).
- Not choosing is choosing to let the world's harmful tech patterns influence your home.
Help Teens Transition with Tech
- If integrating tech, understand adolescence as a transition from a protected “greenhouse” to “the wild” of adult tech use.
- Help your children navigate this by gradually increasing freedom while maintaining guidance and boundaries.
