346: Raising Your Kids in a Tech-Driven World with Arlene Pellicane

by

I, for one, am glad that much of today’s technology and, especially, social media, didn’t exist when I was growing up.

Admittedly, I’m not sure my parents nor I would have handled it well.

We all know how hard it is raising kids today in light of these new challenges. That’s why I’m so glad for people like today’s guest, Arlene Pellicane.

She is perfectly positioned to help us make sense of it all – the screens, the apps, the social media, all of it – AND their potential impact on our children’s brains. With Arlene’s book and today’s interview, you can rest a whole lot easier.

That new book, written with Dr. Gary Chapman, is called Screen Kids: 5 Relational Skills Every Child Needs in a Tech-Driven World.
