Raising Relational Kids in a Screen-Driven World, with Arlene Pellicane Help and Hope for Parents Today
If you are like 100% of the parents I know, your kid’s relationship with screens causes you some amount of stress. This is difficult issue and ever-changing as there are new issues to face all of the time.
Arlene Pellicane is a great help on this topic. She has done a lot of research and written a number of books to support parents raising kids in this screen-driven world. Two of her books were co-written with Gary Chapman (of the 5-Love Languages!) and in today’s conversation we are touching on some of the helpful topics in those books.
Arlene and I talk about the decision of whether or not to give a child a smart phone, (Arlene has a great solution to that one!) time limits on screens for kids, and how we can set better examples as parents in our own relationship to screens! I think you’ll find this conversation super practical and encouraging!
