Your Kids Don't Need Better Screen-Time Rules - They Need THIS Instead | Chris McKenna (Bonus Episode)

In this conversation, Diane sits down with Chris McKenna - founder of Protect Young Eyes and author of The Five Habits of the Tech-Ready Family - to discuss why managing technology isn't ultimately about screen-time limits - it's about relationships, trust, and connection.

Chris shares the powerful insight that "technology is better when it's a we activity," challenging the common belief that digital safety can be achieved through apps and parental controls alone.

What makes this conversation different is that Chris doesn't leave parents with fear. Instead, he offers a practical roadmap built around five simple habits that help families create healthy technology boundaries while preserving connection.
