Becoming a Tech Intentional Family

Emily joined Brett McKay on The Art of Manliness podcast to discuss moving from reactive to reasoned screen policies in families. They unpacked the current state of screen time, the "displacement hypothesis," and why parents often give kids smartphones despite doubts. The conversation then shifted to becoming more tech-intentional, emphasizing the importance of parents' own behavior, relationship-based solutions over parental controls, and living digital lives out loud.
