Making Screen Changes for Your Family

Screens have infiltrated every area of our lives: communication, work email, directions, Uber, grocery orders, Amazon Prime, apps for your kids, and the list goes on. So, how does a family actually make changes when it comes to screens? Josh recently deleted a majority of the apps on his phone, practically turning his iPhone into a flip phone.
