    Part 2 (19:27-44:28): Rob Krecak understands the challenges, and gifts, that technology provides us as parents and humans, founding the company Humans First to help others with technology mindfulness. He joins us to discuss the TOUGHEST of the four challenges — weaning from screens: 

    • His story of being addicted to video games and dealing with insecurities, resorting to technology as a coping mechanism.
    • How parents can be more intentional about the use of technology in their households by setting clear boundaries and guidelines, as well as defining their family values.
    • The science behind the screens, including the chemical response technology gives us and how to replace that with more positive habits that lead to more connectedness and happiness.

      • Rob is offering our listeners a free 30-min technology mindfulness consultation! Email [email protected] with the subject line UNLEASHED.
