PODCAST SCRIPT:

How many “screens†do you have in your life right now?  Let’s see … TV … phone… tablet… computer.  That’s a lot of screen time!

I do a lot of my work on a laptop… and I connect with friends over phone and through texting.  So… I’m a big fan of technology.

But there’s a time to turn it all off!  We all know it’s true, but it’s tough to set technology aside!

Hey … hit the “off†switch.  Do something ol’ fashioned with your child.  Go bowling.  Take a walk.  Grab coffee.  Play a board game.  Have a meal together— without checking your cell phone.

It doesn’t matter the activity you choose.  What’s important is the intentional interaction.  Turn off the screen … and look your child in the eye.
