40. UPDATE on Chrissie’s Tech Fails and Successes to Share

So what ever happened with Chrissie’s tech reckoning following her and Bethann’s interview with Family Tech at the end of the summer? You can find out today! Bethann is “interviewing” Chrissie about what has changed in her household with tech usage since doing an end of summer reset. Chrissie shares what devices have changed for her kids, different tools that are now being used (and working pretty well!), how the tech reset went and led to device-free weekdays, and also how it is still a constant push and pull managing tech use–for everyone, parents included. Just like everything else this is a cycle that never really ends. Join us!
