Realistic Tech Boundaries that Actually Help | Ep. 169
Description
What are examples of technology boundaries for adults and teens at school and home (that will actually work)?

But when it takes over, tech can start to work against us, impacting focus, relationships, and even sleep. Teens especially need guidance on where to draw the line, and setting realistic boundaries can be a game-changer for their well-being.

These aren’t about imposing restrictions, but about helping teens build healthy habits and giving them the tools to manage their tech use.
