What Does It Take to Create a Godly, Joy-Filled Home -- and Not a Screen-Filled One?
You probably know a mom who says things like, “My daughter is constantly on social media,” or “My daughter is so addicted to her phone.” Maybe you’ve said these things yourself. This video series is for you if:
- You feel like technology regularly creates conflict or has caused your daughter to disengage from relationships
- You feel unprepared for how to set expectations and enforce limits on screen time -- and you’re concerned about how your girl will respond to you
- You want your daughter to develop great character and relational skills without having to totally eliminate her use of screens (which is unrealistic in any case)
You may be wondering how your daughter’s screen time is affecting her life -- and if there is anything you can do about it. Like most moms tired of “the technology wars,” you’re saying, “There must be a better way.”
I have good news for you: There is.
Let me show you what it looks like.
My name is Arlene Pellicane, and I’m an author, speaker, wife, and mother of three. I’ve written a variety of books to encourage families, including Parents Rising, 31 Days to a Happy Husband and Calm, Cool, and Connected: 5 Digital Habits for a More Balanced Life. I’m also the co-author of Growing Up Social: Raising Relational Kids in a Screen-Driven World alongside Dr. Gary Chapman.
My experience speaking about healthy family dynamics and building positive relationships has given me the privilege of being featured on The Today Show, Fox & Friends, Focus on the Family, and more. I write regularly for Proverbs 31 ministries and host my own podcast, The Happy Home. My husband James and I live in San Diego with our children, Ethan, Noelle, and Lucy.
I’ve had a longstanding passion for empowering families to connect in ways that foster affection, character, maturity, and personal growth. With technology being so integrated into the way we connect in the modern world, we have to confront its disadvantages head-on -- and equip ourselves with frameworks that help us thrive in a distracted world.
That’s why I’m giving away this video series, Screen Time: 3 Reasons Why Your Daughter Can’t Stop, because I want to show you that the technology battles can be won. You don’t need to fear your daughter’s attachment to technology -- you can help her manage it and develop habits that will positively shape the way she interacts with the world (both digital and physical) as she grows.
Can Your Daughter’s Relationship with Technology Be Different -- Even Healthy? The Answer Is Yes.
Ask yourself…
- What would it be like to watch your daughter leave her screens behind and engage in real life -- without getting angry or throwing a fit?
- How would it feel to confidently run the use of technology in your household instead of feeling like it’s running your family?
- What would it be like to see your daughter embrace new challenges and be active in relationships as she enforces her own rules around screen time?
If you want to learn how to leverage technology to unify your family and bring you closer together instead of keeping you apart, then you're in the right place.
