nwilliams030 boosts a recommendation of Andy Crouch's The Tech-Wise Family, endorsing its "tech augments, not replaces, family life" stance.
The book lists 10 household principles: daily/weekly/yearly device-off rhythms, waking before devices, no screens before double-digit ages, purposeful shared screen use, car time as conversation time, full parental access to kids' devices, and showing up in person for life's big moments.
