Listen now
Description
A few weeks ago a dear friend shared with me about her screen-free family Sundays with her twin nine-year-olds, 14-year-old and 16-year-old. When Jamie started Screen-Free Sundays, they planned to just try it out for a month so she wouldn’t feel overwhelmed by the experiment. I also talk with a mom in Alaska who prioritized reading in her family in all sorts of ways — and keeping screens at bay when they read. Hear how the experiments have gone in this week’s podcast.
