Out-Tech Your Kids, with Kristen + Liz of Cool Mom Tech

Welcome to the first episode of Out-Tech Your Kids, the new podcast from us, Kristen and Liz, who you may know as the hosts of the Spawned Parenting Podcast, and the co-founders of CoolMomPicks.com and CoolMomTech.com. Each week, we'll be answering your burning digital parenting questions in 15 minutes or less. First up, we talk about what out-teching your kids actually means, and if it's possible.

Like what you hear? Join our Out Tech Your Kids Facebook Group, where thousands of parents like you and us chat about digital parenting issues in a tech-positive, non-judgmental way. You can also follow us on social media: Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. All the links from our shows will be posted on CoolMomTech.com.

And special thanks to our sponsor, Sofia Family, makers of the first digital activity manager that helps you keep track of time spent on screens across all gadgets, on or offline. Yep, pretty awesome. Head over to their site to sign up for first access to this amazing product.
