How to raise Tech-healthy humans. Interview with Daniel Sih

Send us a text This week I'm delighted to be joined by Daniel Sih. Daniel is an award winning author and productivity expert and has written a tremendous book called "Raising Tech-Healthy Humans". It's a practical handbook to help parents reset their children's tech-habits and give them a great start to life. If you're concerned about your kid's social media/phone/tablet habits then this is the interview to listen to! We're talking about many things including; How to get an 8-year old off a tablet is a different process from teaching a 4-year old to use devices sensibly. The difference between "lean-back" and "lean-in" technology and why it really matters. How YouTube on the television is completely different from family movie night. Why family technology time is a positive whereas spending time on the phone maybe isn't. How to spot when your kid's tech-habits are becoming a problem. How the technology, and social media, is DESIGNED to keep your child online so you as a parent have to be aware of what you're really up against. YouTube is different when you're not signed in! The physical, and developmental, effects of certain tech on your child. The easiest ways to progress your child through the different forms of technology, and why you should slowly build up their exposure rather than just giving them access all in one go. And much, MUCH, more Daniel is a tremendous speaker and is very knowledgeable on this subject, if you're at all interested in what YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and everybody else online is doing to make sure your child is an avid consumer of their products, and how to make sure you teach your kids to use these tools properly, you will want to listen to this.
