33. How To Make a Family Tech Policy

A family tech policy, or what we call a Family Tech Framework, is a powerful tool to re-establishing tech norms. It can also be something we agree with in theory, but have a really hard time implementing in our own families. It can simply feel too overwhelming to apply to real life. Where do we start?Today we're going to talk through the process of how to make a family tech policy. There are really three steps:1) Start with the Gospel. We have to start with heart change, otherwise we're just training our kids how to fake it well. (8:29)2) Establish the two types of tech: Tool and Drool. (14:02)3) Build those family norms in five areas: time, place, content, priorities, and safety.
