Why We Need a Tech Reset w/ Arlene Pellicane | Ep. 60, Pt. 1


Summit Ministries

Technology is everywhere, but what is it actually doing to our kids?

In this episode of Upside-Down Parenting, we sit down with Arlene Pellicane, author of The Great Tech Reset: Reclaiming Real Life for Christian Families, to explore how technology is shaping childhood and why families may need a tech reset.

Arlene unpacks four major ways technology can negatively affect kids: the Anxiety Amplifier, Bad Babysitter, Childhood Killer, and Dopamine Dealer. They also discuss biblical principles for thinking wisely about technology, why parents need to examine their own screen habits, and how healthy boundaries can actually bring greater freedom.

If technology has become too influential in your home, it’s not too late to make a change. The goal isn’t fear or guilt. It’s becoming more intentional about helping your kids flourish in a technology-saturated world.
