Today I’m sharing a delightful conversation that I had with Erin Loechner author of, “The Opt Out Family.” Erin and I dive into what it really means to create a low-tech family life and explore practical ways to reduce technology’s grip on your home while cultivating richer, more meaningful alternatives that both parents and children genuinely enjoy. This is longer than my usual episodes, but the conversation was just too good to cut anything out!
In this conversation, Erin shares:
- Her journey from social media influencer to intentionally stepping away from screens
- Simple ways to bring her family motto to life in your home
- Practical ideas for discovering what truly delights your children
- How to earn your children’s trust and respect in a digital world
- What it looks like to opt INTO wonder, creativity, and human connection
I hope this episode gives you plenty to think about as you consider technology’s role in your family life. If reducing technology use in your life is something you’re considering, I have a free gift for you! My Technology Fast Workbook guides you through a 30-day break from technology. You’ll create your own personal rules, set up your environment for success, and learn how to reflect on the experience to make lasting changes. This isn’t just a temporary challenge – it’s a way to become truly intentional about technology’s place in your family and discover what matters more!
