036: Top Skills Every Child Needs in a Tech-Driven World with Arlene Pellicane

With the Holiday Season right around the corner, our kids will likely receive a lot of tech-focused gifts.  This made me ask the question - how can I ensure my kids find balance between using technology and being present, in this Holiday Season and beyond? My guest this week is Arlene Pellicane, who is a speaker, writer and has appeared on several media outlets like the Today Show, Wall Street Journal, Focus on the Family, Fox & Friends, TLC’s Home Made Simple, FamilyLife Today, and The 700 Club.  She is the host of the Happy Home podcast, is on the writing team for Proverbs 31 Ministries and Girlfriends in God.  Before becoming a speaker and author, Arlene served as a features reporter for The 700 Club and associate director for Turning Point with David Jeremiah.
