150. What To Do With Tech When Family Visits?

What’s your plan for tech when family comes to town?

There’s a good chance someone in your life, maybe even someone you’ll see for Christmas, has a different tech standard than you and your family. So what can you do?

First, make sure you’ve listened to last week’s episode about making tech safe at home! 🤗

Remember that you’re not scared of tech: Your boundaries come from hope for your kiddos. You want them to become all they are made to be!

So ask:
is it safe (Drool Tech, Browser, App, Accountable)
does it mean family expectations (Phil. 4:8 – content)
does it line up with my child’s purpose and potential (Gal. 5:22—the fruit)

Then, take these three steps to ensure tech is a benefit for all this season:

1. Be open. Bring up your concern, your expectations for your child, and ask for suggestions on how it could be handled.

2. Be gracious. focus on the problems, not the people: We don’t let our kids play games (at all, very long, rated T or higher…)

3. Be focused. your experience, and solutions.
