EP244 The Opt-Out Family: How to Give Your Kids What Technology Can’t w/Erin Loechner Part 1
71% of parents believe that smartphones do more harm than good. And yet 99% of teens have phones given to them by their parents. Excess screen time is eroding our society, interrupting family rhythms, and disconnecting us from our closest relationships. From toddlers to teens to parents…tech has a grip on us all. Today we are continuing our season-long conversation about tech and social media with Erin Loechner, the founder of the global tech-free movement the Opt-Out Family and author of the book by the same name. This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation. Listen in.
More about Erin
Founder of global tech-free movement The Opt-Out Family, Erin Loechner is a former social media influencer who walked away from a million fans to live a low-tech lifestyle—and is now teaching others how to do the same. Her cutting-edge work has been praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Huffington Post, as well as on the Today Show. When she’s not scrawling on her trusty steno pad, Erin, her husband, and their three kids spend their days chasing alpenglow, reading Kipling, and biking to town for more tortillas.
