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

Jun 27, 2024

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
