                                            “I’m just sick and tired of fighting with my kids
                                            and their technology.”

                                                  his is a statement I have heard over and over
                                                  throughout my years of facilitating parent work-
                                            Tshops and discussions. There is this feeling in
                                            many households that there needs to be a “fight” or
                                            “battle” when it comes to kids and technology. This
                                            battle can happen in other arenas, too (in my household,
                                            getting kids to bed on time), but generally technology
                                            seems to be viewed in this light—partly because it’s new,
                                            and partly because we as parents don’t quite understand
                                            the use or entertainment value of the devices or social
                                            media sites.
