MacVoices #20174: Rachel and Mike Schmitz Discuss Their Intentional Family Podcast (1)

The first part of our conversation with Rachel and Mike Schmitz of The Intentional Family podcast starts with why this new show, what gives them the credibility to talk about it, and their desire to share what has worked for their family. From tech-oriented issues such as screen time and non-tech issues such as family chores, Mike and Rachel discuss some of the methods they have used, how they have modified them as they went along, and why everyone in the family gets a vote…to a point. Teaching how to use our devices and time to create rather than consume, balancing that out with the benefits of video games, and how they have modified their own behaviors to "practice what they preach" make for an informative conversation.
