Untangling Technology | EP03: Moving from Tech Manager to Tech Mentor

Young people today are growing up with devices and technology in a way that most adult people never did. It’s a part of our lives whether we want it or not, so taking the time to examine what’s really happening with you, and your children when it comes to screen time is an important step in moving toward a healthy relationship with technology. In this episode, Kristen and I talk about how parents can shift from a place of fear to appreciation, concern to curiosity, and manager to mentor.   BIO Carrie Contey, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized coach, author, speaker and educator.
