Most tech-parenting books focus on managing screens and online safety. The Great Tech Reset goes deeper by helping parents understand how technology shapes identity, relationships, habits, and faith. Rather than simply teaching kids to use technology less, this book helps parents raise children who are less vulnerable to technology’s false promises and more drawn to real life with God, real relationships, and what is true and lasting.

Screens influence how children think, learn, connect, and grow in ways previous generations never experienced. Anxiety is rising. Attention is shrinking. Screens increasingly replace real-life relationships and experiences, and parents know something isn’t working. Parents can reject the status quo and create a healthier path forward for their families.
In The Great Tech Reset, author Arlene Pellicane addresses the sobering research revealing how technology harms kids today. She tells her family’s story of choosing a different path. They made a plan to navigate screens in tech-saturated Southern California. Drawing on research, biblical wisdom, and her own experience, she gives parents a plan to reclaim the kind of childhood God intended.
You don’t have to surrender your child’s formation to Big Tech. Reclaim your family’s attention for what matters most and help your children love real life with God and others more than the counterfeit world technology offers.
