Manage episode 488059102 series 2921999
Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, author, and mom Clare Morrell joins Blake to discuss her book The Tech Exit and the challenges of parenting in a tech-saturated world. Clare shares her motivation for writing the book, rooted in her background in child protection and tech policy, and emphasizes the need for a countercultural approach to screen use. She encourages parents to reject the idea that giving kids smartphones or social media is inevitable and offers practical principles based on families who have successfully done just that. Throughout the conversation, they stress that this is not about judgment but about equipping parents with hopeful, actionable tools to protect their children’s development in a digital age.
In this episode, you’ll be able to…
Understand why parental controls and screen time limits often fail to protect kids online.
Discover the developmental reasons why kids and teens are more vulnerable to digital addiction.
Explore practical alternatives to smartphones that support healthy, age-appropriate tech use.
