Fellow parents, this one is a must.

I love this podcast. Valuable information for parents, educators, and those who don't know what they don't know about the internet. Looking forward to more!

Game-changer

As a mindset researcher, I have learned that our success in life is based upon our mental habits. And, technology is playing a huge role on our mental habits. This podcast has helped me be more intentional about using technology to enforce positive mental habits, and has helped me learn how to limit tech's negative effect on my mental habits.

please chsnge this ,

Important topic
