Parenting is Leadership

Parenting is a leadership opportunity. With the "Parenting is Leadership" Guide from ImpactParents, two frameworks and a dozen core competencies will guide you to up-level your parenting... and improve the most important relationships of your life.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

• Elaine and Diane encourage parents to reflect on their own technology habits and how they model healthy tech usage for their children.
• Elaine and Diane explain it's crucial for parents to have open and honest conversations with their children about their online activities.
• Elaine and Diane emphasize the importance of mindfulness in technology usage. They advocated for conscious engagement with digital tools and encouraged individuals to view technology as a supportive tool rather than a controlling force.
