EP239 Encouragement for Raising Kids in the Digital Age w/Jenna Kruse Pt. 1
Are you spending 50% of your parenting time and energy navigating tech with your school-aged kids? Do you have little ones and you already rue the day they ask for Instagram? Are you overwhelmed with the very thought of setting up parental controls or installing an internet filter? Today’s guest is Jenna Kruse, and she helps parents with school-aged kids overcome the frustration, fatigue, and hopelessness of parenting in the digital age, so they can enjoy their kids and thrive in their role of raising the next generation to know and love Jesus. This is Part 1 of a 2 part conversation. Listen in
We discuss:
- What’s on both my and Jenna’s To-Don’t List (mine is TMI…sorry)
- The rapid growth of tech since 2009 (when she had her first child) and the frustration that drove her to help other parents
- How much of my time and energy tech required of me as a younger mom (and how thankful I am people like Jenna are standing up and helping the moms behind her)
- The first principle of Jenna’s Balanced Approach to managing tech in her home
