Overview

"This brilliant book is a game-changer."--WENDY SPEAKE, author of The 40-Day Social Media Fast and Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses

"Hope and practical direction for parents." --FRANCIS and LISA CHAN, New York Times bestselling authors

It's time to flip the switch and get your kids back.

Mom of six Molly DeFrank was sick of screen-time meltdowns. She wanted more for her family, so she pulled the plug, declaring a digital detox for her kids. The transformation blew her away: She got her sweet, happy kids back.

The detox was easier than she could have hoped, and the results were better than she could have dreamed. In just two weeks, her children were free from the grip of digital devices. Their moods shifted immediately, and their creativity exploded. They learned how to entertain themselves and enjoy life without screens.

Her experiment led to a total tech overhaul that changed her family's life. Here's how she did it in just fourteen days, and how you can too.

Digital Detox offers step-by-step guidance that will help you
· overcome your fear of firing your "electronic babysitter"
· cultivate your child's giftings outside of screens
· confidently set the right tech boundaries for your family
· develop a long-term plan to sustain lasting change

Best of all, you'll transform screen zombies into friendly, happy, grateful kids.

You can put technology in its right place. This book will show you how.
