Exploring how parents, kids, and technology interact. Screen time, smartphones, AI, and more.
In this episode of Parent Tech, I talk with Dr. Susan Walker, Professor Emeritus of Family and Social Science at the University of Minnesota and the author of a textbook on technology and the family. We cover the historical context of parenting and how today's technology fits into a much longer story.
We explore how parenting is different today and the ways parents use technology. Dr. Walker offers a grounded, judgment-free perspective: parenting has always been about your values, your goals, and the tools you choose to use to support them.
Whether you're figuring out screen time, exploring tracking apps, or just trying to feel a little more confident—this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone, and there are methods to navigate through it.
