Parenting Teens
Screen-Free Zones
Glennon Doyle, who writes on the merits of being more honest and purposeful, posted this picture on Facebook last week sharing with her fans that when her daughters’ friends come over, they have to deposit their phones in a basket.
People often ask me how much time is too much. Given that screens have become so pervasive in every place and aspect of our lives, I think that a better way to look at it is all the places and times you decide not to allow screens. Where in the house, in school, outside, might not be great places to have a screen, or at least a cell phone? Today, I share what I do in my family and how I make it work in this Tech Talk Tuesday.
