We need to clarify our message:
Tech is not the bad guy. It's a part of the world we live in. Instead, our message is that, as parents, we try our best to be intentional about how we talk about, introduce, and increase our flexibility around device use.
We have to remember that even though times change quickly, the human brain isn't always equipped to keep up with those changes, at that speed.
Especially the adolescent brain.
So what do we do about it?
This is exactly what we talked about in last week's episode of the Be a Problem Solver podcast. If you're curious what to do now, tune in, or share it with a friend who's at this stage in life too!
