92% of teens go online daily. Of those, 52% are online several times per day, and 26% are online almost constantly. Are parents’ statistics any better? Not really. Yes, mobile devices certainly have our attention, but why do we spend so much precious time staring at screens? What value do we get from social media and technology? Can we use these tools in more constructive ways? In this episode, we learn that when it comes to technology, sometimes it’s not about getting the right answers, but about asking ourselves the right questions. Join Ed and Renee in their conversation about making more mindful use of our devices. Topics include:

  • The allure of small boxes
  • Getting connected at the expense of connection
  • Screen time rules at Steve Jobs’ house
  • Reading your body’s text messages
  • Setting intention online
  • Role play: talking to kids about their screen time
  • bamNI: Body and Mind Network Integration
