Summary
We are the first generation raising kids that are growing up as digital natives: people who have never known a world not *inundated* with screens.
What are the implications of that? The ditches on either side of the road of trying to approach and use technology in a healthy way?
That's the conversation I dive into with Krista Boan, author of Well Framed and expert on screen use in children and families.
Krista shares her wealth of knowledge as both an expert and a mom like you and I, seeking to help model and shape her children well while giving them a biblical perspective on screens and the place they should have in our lives.
I learned a lot from this and I know you will too.
