As wives and moms, we get up every day and do so many things that can seem mundane or unimportant. We may look around and wonder how our actions could impact the culture for the good.
Today Professor Pearcey shares many of the wonderful, statistically verifiable, benefits associated with ordering our lives and families according to God’s Word.
Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

I’m excited to be addressing the topic of screen time and teens! It’s sometimes challenging to navigate setting healthy boundaries with teens over screen time, so I hope today’s episode will give you the tools to work with your teen to establish lifelong healthy screen habits!
Creating healthy screentime habits isn’t just about time management. As we will find out today, there is so much more to consider. The studies and data are in and something every parent should know.

Moms often have questions about healthy screen time habits, so I decided to do 2 episodes on this topic.
Today we will discuss healthy screen time habits for kids 0-12. In the next episode, we will cover healthy screen time habits for teens.
Creating healthy screentime habits isn’t just about time management. As we will find out today, there is much more to consider. You will not want to miss this one! It's bold!
Find out:
Why screentime is the opposite of what a child needs
Why iPads are one of the worst inventions ever
Why kids are experiencing anxiety as early as 8-10 yrs old (or younger)
Why co-viewing is always best
What happens to our kids' brains after 30 minutes on screens
Should we use screen time as a reward? What are effective and meaningful rewards?
Why keeping our kids off screens is not sheltering them
Why it's easy to underestimate the amount of time our kids are actually spending on screens
Is there a connection between easy access to screens and addiction?
Is screentime a neutral activity?
How do video games affect our kids' brains?
Does the record level of kids with ADHD have anything to do with screens?

I've been wanting to do this interview for a long time! I have so much respect for my sister-in-law and know that you will love what she has to share!
Jolene has been married to my brother Frank for 32 years. She is the mom of 11 kids (ages 30-10) and mammie to 12 grandkids and she has been homeschooling for almost 3 decades. She is active in her church and community. I am so grateful that she is fulfilling the role of Titus 2 woman as she mentors younger moms.
You all are going to love this one!
