Description

This week, Andy and Pete explore how families can build more intentional, flexible routines involving technology. This isn’t about blindly thinking that ‘tech is great’; it’s about acknowledging that things like video games and screen time are a large part of our everyday lives, so we need to pay attention to what works and what doesn’t.

We talk about experimenting with video games, reflecting on our own habits, and how, as parents, we’re always making adjustments around tech. Plus: what to do when your kids love a game you don’t, and why the broader public debate on screens seems to be slipping backwards.
