Keep Better Track of Tech Time With TechDen

We received free product to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are our own.

I’m not going to lie, when we started homeschooling years ago I was terrified. I was so worried I was going to mess my children up. I worried that maybe they wouldn’t get socialized enough or maybe they would miss out on things. The only regret I have today is not doing it sooner. This isn’t a post about why people should homeschool their children though. While it works great for my family, I don’t think it’s great for every family. Some families can’t, and I respect that. For many years I was one of those families that couldn’t.

As my kids get older I learn more and more about them and about myself as a parent and as a teacher, I could say as a person as well. Once you have children you become more than just a person, you are a parent, and that can be a tough job at times. Over the years I have found that saying no to my children could sometimes be a challenge. There were times when I really did want to give into whatever their little hearts were wanting, but I knew that it would be best for them if I told them no. Sticking to my gut and telling them no when I felt it was appropriate has been good for them, and it’s been good for me as a parent as well. Children need boundaries.

I love that my kids are tech savvy. I love that they can show me how to do things on my iPhone that I had no idea I could do. How the heck do they just know this stuff? It’s like they are born knowing! One thing I don’t love though is that if I didn’t set boundaries, my children would be on their electronics from the time they wake in the morning until the time they go to bed in the evening.

We recently received a TechDen, and I’m thrilled to tell you all about it! This is a cool  parental control app and charging and storing device to create better balance with technology for the whole family. Unlike a standalone app, The Den charging and storage station keeps devices out of sight and out of mind. The Den charges and stores up to two iOS or Android devices. It establishes a new mindset of unavailability and gives devices a home of their own. You as a parent have the ability to create schedules to remotely lock and unlock the Den door. You can set time limits for device usage. This is super helpful for busy parents. I know that sometimes I’m busy with work or another child and one of my children may be on their devices a lot longer than I realize. With TechDen I can monitor and manage the time and set limits. When the boundaries are in place there is no arguing or trying to negotiate more time because everyone knows exactly what is to be expected.

You can even receive notifications about device removal and time usage (no fooling Mom and Dad!)
