RAR #244: How to Give Your Kids What Technology Can’t, Erin Loechner

Read-Aloud Revival ®

How can our families cultivate healthy relationships with technology?

We’re all trying to impose limits on how, when, and why our kids interact with technology. But in our increasingly tech-driven world, it can be hard to navigate.

Writer Erin Loechner is joining me on the podcast to discuss her new book, The Opt-Out Family, and to offer her life-giving take on building lasting connections with your kids.

We discuss everything from the importance of boredom to Erin’s practical and easy-to-implement advice for becoming unplugged. I hope this conversation leaves you inspired to pursue a life less documented and more delightful!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What we can learn from tech about capturing our kids’ attention
• Why our kids need more space for curiosity, wonder, and boredom (and how our phones tend to get in the way)
• Why you don’t have to be all-or-nothing with technology
