Episode 29-Responsible Digital Use in the Home with guest Arlene Pellicane

If your kids or spouse came to you and said “I feel like you give your phone more attention than me”, would you be able to take it? Would it spur you to examine your digital use and make a change? On today’s episode of HomeWord, Jim welcomes author and speaker Arlene Pellicane to discuss her book Screen Kids: 5 Relational Skills Every Child Needs in a Tech-Driven World. Learn some of the science behind addiction and what it does to your and your child's brain, why teenagers are saying we should ban phones and social media for 16 and under, and how to truly thrive as a family in a world where tech will probably never disappear. With some staggering statistics yet heaps of encouragement, Jim and Arlene navigate the complexities of this topic with humor and sincerity.
