We all want our kids to be healthy and safe.  We spend lots of time and energy teaching them, encouraging them, and protecting them from the dangers of life.

But when it comes to our kids and technology, many of us feel like it's nearly impossible to keep up with the threats our kids are exposed to.

Research shows that technology is the number one reason parents believe raising their children today is more complicated than in the past — and for those of us in blended families, it's even more complex!

As this week's podcast episode releases, we're coming up on the Christmas holiday and we're betting more than one tree has a piece of technology under it — all wrapped up with a beautiful bow.

You're excited for your child or step-child to open it, but maybe you have a sense of dread lingering inside when you really think about it.

You're not alone…

…that's why we've invited a special guest to help us all discover some practical ways to create healthy habits and protect our kids in this area — without becoming tech wizards!

Rob Hayes-St.Clair is the Director of Generosity for JH Everlasting Adventures and every year speaks to young adult and adult audiences on the topics of life purpose, relationships, and leadership. A former real-estate developer, he now invests his time in building young leaders and healthy families through JH Ranch in the US, New Zealand, and Australia. Rob lives in San Diego with his wife of 15 years, Edith, and their three children, Charlie, Izzy, and Pierce.

In his work with families over the years, Rob has identified "5 Key Ingredients" to help us navigate the challenging waters of the tech world.  This is going to be a great episode for every family — blended or not!

You'll Discover:

• The major difference between you and your kids when it comes to  technology
• Why tech can be so addicting — for kids and adults!
• How to create some simple new tech habits in your home
• The mindset you need to remember if your kid's tech was purchased by an Ex
