Description

A Tidy Take Ash Brandin, Author of Power On: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family - Screens aren’t the enemy… but without some boundaries, they can turn into tiny, glowing dictators. In this episode, I sit down with Ash Brandin—middle school teacher, parent, and unapologetic gamer—to talk about managing technology in your home without losing your mind.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

* Moral neutrality when it comes to technology

* The ABCs of tech: access, behavior, and content

This conversation will help you hit Power On—without hitting panic mode.
