S4Ep14: Has Technology Taken Over Your Home?
This week Amy and Mike talk with author and podcast host Arlene Pellicane about kids and technology and her book with Gary Chapman, Screen Kids.
Has Technology Taken Over Your Home?
In this digital age, children spend more time interacting with screens and less time playing outside, reading a book, or interacting with family. Though technology has its benefits, it also has its harms.
In Screen Kids Gary Chapman and Arlene Pellicane will empower you with the tools you need to make positive changes. Through stories, science, and wisdom, you’ll discover how to take back your home from an overdependence on screens. Plus, you’ll learn to teach the five A+ skills that every child needs to master: affection, appreciation, anger management, apology, and attention. Learn how to:
- Protect and nurture your child’s growing brain
- Establish simple boundaries that make a huge difference
- Recognize the warning signs of gaming too much
- Raise a child who won’t gauge success through social media
- Teach your child to be safe online
This newly revised edition features the latest research and interactive assessments, so you can best confront the issues technology create in your home. Now is the time to equip your child with a healthy relationship with screens and an even healthier relationship with others.
Pellicane is the author of nine books (including Parents Rising, 31 Days to a Happy Husband, and Screen Kids co-authored with Dr. Gary Chapman), speaker, and host of the Happy Home podcast.
