In this episode, we cover: Why boys today are struggling and how culture shapes their sense of identity Biblical principles that guide us as moms raising sons Recognizing the unique wiring of each boy and learning to reframe weaknesses as strengths The importance of belonging, worldview, and family connection Family meals as a simple but powerful practice for building resilience in kids Eight key areas to nurture in your son during the formative years Creative ways to weave one-on-one connection into ordinary family life Guiding boys through anger and big emotions  Encouraging motivation and building focus for schoolwork without constant battles Teaching boys to notice messes, take initiative, and follow through on responsibilities Understanding what's “normal” chaos in a boy-filled home and how to balance it with structure Why real-life community is vital for moms raising boys, and how it brings encouragement and perspective View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Research shows a child's worldview is largely formed by age 13, making these early years critical for shaping their hearts and minds. In this episode, Paige Clingenpeel sits down with Molly DeFrank—author, speaker, and mom of six—to talk about what today's boys need to thrive. Molly shares practical ways moms can model a biblical worldview, create meaningful moments with their sons, and equip them with the essentials for life—belonging, authority, bravery, tenderness, creativity, and emotional durability.

If you're feeling like your family could use a break from screens and a reset, this is the episode for you. You may remember a podcast I recorded last year about how to do a digital detox. Well, that episode was based on an amazing book called Digital Detox: The Two-Week Tech Reset for Kids, and I am so thankful to have the author, Molly DeFrank, here with me today.You'll Learn:Why letting go of control can actually help you find solutionsOur real-life experiences with digital detoxes in our own familiesHow to help kids manage their boredom and big feelings without screensThe 4-step method to a digital detoxMolly normalizes tech overuse (it's not just you!) and lays out a simple, accessible way for you to give your kid a break from digital input, reset their nervous system, and allow your family to become a bit more whole and integrated. You'll love our conversation and hearing Molly's perspective.------------------------------------------Molly DeFrank is a mom to six children, ages 8 to 15, and the author of two parenting books, including Digital Detox: The Two-Week Tech Reset for Kids. She lives in California and has helped thousands of families break free from digital dependence. The State of Screen UseI often think of the pandemic as “letting the cat out of the bag” when it comes to screens. Even for slow tech families, school was online and our kids were spending way more time on screens. So now, 5 years later, our kids are struggling and we're seeing a lot of families doing some course correction.Molly shared that the vast majority of parents say that their kids' screen use is their biggest parenting struggle and that “8 to 12 year-old kids are spending 40 hours per week on digital entertainment…13 to 18 year-olds are spending 50 hours a week. Our kids are spending the same amount of time as having a full time job being digitally entertained.”Molly was heavily influenced by Dr. Victoria Dunckley, who coined a new condition called Electronic Screen Syndrome that is brought on by too much digital entertainment. It can disguise itself as ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, when it's really just the adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine that is hijacking their brains. She saw so much of this that she decided to no longer diagnose a new client until they had undergone a digital detox. And most of the time, symptoms were resolved and medication was not needed. That's how powerful this is. Some of these symptoms that come with screen overuse include irritability, aggression, low frustration tolerance, problems sleeping, and inattentiveness.Parents know that something needs to change, but they don't want to deal with the fallout and tantrums of reducing or taking away screens. I know you've experienced this. The timer goes off, and the monster comes out. The negotiations (just 5 more minutes, pleeeease) and big feelings begin. This is purely dysregulation from the transition from stimulation from that device to non stimulation. I call this the boredom gap, and believe it or not, there is so much hope and freedom on the other side. Benefits of a Digital DetoxMolly wants us to know that a detox doesn't mean you're signing up for 2 weeks (or forever) of screen tantrums. In fact, it's quite the opposite. She says, “You're actually getting your kids back.” A detox comes with benefits to your child's creativity, mental health, social life, and academics, as well as your relationship with them. In fact, every parent she knows who has...

What do boys really need from their moms in the early years—and what happens if they don't get it? In this episode, author and mom of six, Molly DeFrank, shares what she's learning about raising emotionally durable, spiritually grounded boys in a world full of screens, distractions, and low expectations.

From emotional health to digital habits, masculinity to worldview formation, Molly reminds us that a mom's intentional love and training can have a generational impact.

Molly DeFrank returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with a powerful message for moms of boys in a rapidly shifting culture. Drawing from her new book Mothering Boys: Eight Things Your Son Needs Before He Turns 10, Molly breaks down what young boys actually need from their moms—especially in a world that increasingly devalues masculinity and replaces human relationships with screens and AI companions. With urgency and encouragement, she shares research-backed insights, practical tools, and soul-shifting stories—from Stephen King to hyena #3—that affirm the everyday moments of motherhood are shaping our sons' futures far more than we realize. In this compelling conversation, Molly and Ginny dive deep into why family dinners (even the chaotic ones) still matter, how screen time is silently stealing our kids' resilience, and why failure might be the greatest gift we give our children. They discuss the cultural erosion of boyhood, the rise of AI “relationships,” and the critical importance of wonder, outdoor play, grit, and belonging. This episode is both a wake-up call and a warm hug for moms raising boys—and a call to amp up our efforts before the window closes. ** Learn more about Molly and everything she has to offer here Get a copy of Mothering Boys here Learn more about your ad choices.

“An uncluttered life is an abundant life, and that seems very counterintuitive. We tend to think of abundance as a lot of whatever, and therefore we clutter up our lives. But truly, when we have a life that is not cluttered, we can really live the abundant life that we were designed to live.” – Angie HycheToday's featured bookcaster is a mom, wife, speaker, veteran community theatre actress, retired certified professional organizer, and the owner of Shipshape Solutions, Angie Hyche.

253. Low Tech Parenting with Erin Loechner   I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. Psalm 101:3   Questions We Cover: Especially for us as parents, what are some motives of the big tech companies that capitalize on our naivety? What are some ways we can borrow the attractive features from social media to optimize influence within our home, as parents? What other ideas do you have for using our homes to build strategic family rhythms where all members can grow and flourish?   Erin Loechner is the founder of global tech-free movement, The Opt-Out Family. Erin is a former social media influencer who walked away from a million fans to live a low-tech lifestyle—and is now teaching others how to do the same. Her cutting-edge work has been praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Huffington Post, as well as on the Today Show. When she's not scrawling on her trusty steno pad, Erin, her husband, and their three kids spend their days chasing alpenglow, reading Kipling, and biking to town for more tortillas.   Opt Out Family Website   Other Recommended Podcasts on This Topic: 170 Mastering Technology so it Does Not Master You with Dr. Sylvia Hart Frejd   228 Stewarding Technology for More Intentional Relationships  with Joey Odom   226 Tech-Savvy Family with Paul Asay of The Plugged In Staff   195 Tech and Parenting with Molly DeFrank   91 Technology and Parenting with Arlene Pellicane   Erin's Book Recommendations: Caddie Woodlawn Pilgrim's Progress Honey for a Child's Heart   Thank You to Our Sponsor: Leman Property Management Company   Connect with The Savvy Sauce on Facebook or Instagram or Our Website   Please help us out by sharing this episode with a friend, leaving a 5-star rating and review, and subscribing to this podcast!   Gospel Scripture: (all NIV)   Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”    Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”    Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”    Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

The Christian Outlook – January 13, 2024 Greg Laurie and J.D. Greear, author of Above All: The Gospel Is the Source of the Church's Renewal, discuss the importance of the Gospel, emphasizing that it is the same powerful message that transformed lives in the Book of Acts, and it remains unchanged. Rick Probst and Erin Smalley, of Focus on the Family, talk about the common issue of "the drift" in marriages, where couples can lose connection over time. Smalley suggests addressing it through open and non-defensive conversations, sharing a positive impact story from a couple who attended a conference. She also mentions resources like Hope Restored for intensive support in overcoming marriage challenges.  Jim Daly, and Molly DeFrank discuss the negative impact of excessive technology usage on children, and how it hinders social development and creativity. She shares her family's experience with a digital detox, emphasizing the importance of unplugging for two weeks to encourage a healthier and more imaginative lifestyle. Find the full episode at Focus on the Family. Scott Furrow invites radio host Bob Lepine to discuss his latest book, Build a Stronger Marriage: The Path to Oneness. Lepine talks about the importance of shared spiritual convictions, ensuring that the couple's core commitment to Christ remains the central focus in their marriage, even when facing disagreements on smaller matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like most parents of children born after 2010, Molly DeFrank embraced the new digital technologies of smart phones and tablets for her kids. But she grew increasingly alarmed as she observed detrimental effects of “zombified kids,” emotional outbursts, loss of other interests, etc. And she discovered alarming research that the average child spends more than 7 hours per day on a screen for entertainment purposes! Molly is not anti-tech; she simply wants to equip families to put technology in its proper place as a tool for our families.   Receive the book Digital Detox and the audio download of the broadcast "How to Take Your Family Through a Digital Fast" for your donation of any amount!   Get More Episode Resources   We'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to Episode 84 of The Perfectionist's Guide to Mothering! Today I'm sharing my conversation with Molly DeFrank, author of Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids.* Molly is a mom to six children, three boys and three girls, ages six to thirteen. She spends most of her time telling them to put on their shoes. She helps parents get back in the driver's seat to better navigate the stress of screen time in the home. We chat all about her book and I share my experience with our family's digital detox we implemented over the summer.

Every parent wants to do what is best for their children, but technology use can be a tricky issue to navigate!  Early in her motherhood, Molly welcomed technology into her kids' lives, but quickly realized she needed to make a change.  Immediately, Molly saw drastic improvements in her children.  She now helps parents navigate this complex world of screen use by coaching families through a detox period and a reintroduction process.  Whether you are a parent who knows you need to make a change in your family's screen use or you have technology pretty well under control in your home, this episode is full of interesting statistics and empowering encouragement! In this episode, we cover: What led Molly to make a change in her kids' screen time habits Resetting your kids' brains to enjoy tactile activities again Do we need to prepare our kids for the digital world around them? A look at the impact of screen addiction on the upcoming generation The difference between learning from screens vs. face-to-face interaction in the early years Are there types of screen time that are better or worse for kids? Is it possible to undo damage that has been done by excessive screen time?

Tech and Parenting with Molly DeFrank   Proverbs 27:23 (AMP) "Be diligent to know the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;"   Questions We Discuss: What are some things you learned as you researched more about tech use and our children's developing brains and bodies? What led to your initial tech detox in your home and what were the unexpected results? Will you share your five steps to prep for detox?   Molly DeFrank is the founder of the online Digital Detox, where she helps free families from their addictions to devices. She has a degree in international relations and worked as a press aide for former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. These days, she is a stay-at-home mom and foster mom to six kids ages twelve and under.   Connect with Molly   Thank You to Our Sponsor:  Leman Property Management   Connect with The Savvy Sauce on Facebook or Instagram or Our Website   Gospel Scripture: (all NIV)   Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”    Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”    Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”    Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Digital Detox for Kids  Molly DeFrank pt 2 https://amzn.to/3SomuKv ()How many of you parents or grandparents listening to me right now – are sick and tired of how addicted your kids or grandkids are to that darn smart phone and/or computer? Come, be honest!  By faith I can see almost every parent raising their hands out there! Amen! Molly DeFrank has a degree in international relations and worked as a press aide for former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. She left the hustle and bustle of political life to settle down and take it easy by focusing on having a family. Six kids later, the former hustle and bustle probably seems like a walk in the park!  Amen! These days, she is a stay-at-home mom and foster mom to six kids ages twelve and under. But, in this multi-connected, device ridden world, she started seeing her children change, and not for the better. They were constantly “connected” – but not with anyone around them. These devices were stealing her children from her. One day, she said “enough is enough.” What did she do? She disconnected everything - and everyone - from tech.  For two weeks. What were the results? She got her kids back, for one. Two: the kids enjoyed themselves more; read more; played more and school grades soared!  Praise God. She has since gone on to help others do this same thing and has published a book titled, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids”) that we will be discussing today. This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview with Molly DeFrank! How did you arrive at the solution of unplugging from tech? You recommend doing this cold turkey. Straight up “turn it all off.” Right? Did you allow your kids to tell their friends they would not be taking calls or online for a few weeks? (I would figure somebody would call the cops or something thinking something happened to their friends)! How do parents handle this when even the schools are resorting to virtual learning (especially since the pandemic shutdowns)? Why two weeks?  Why not three weeks or for a month? Is there a way for parents to successfully limit their child's screen time and track the sites their kids tend to hang out on? How do you lay all of this out in your book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids?”)  Someone listening to us right now may be thinking, “I need to do this. But when is the best time to begin?” Your book, obviously covers this information, but you have also helped many families through your coaching program. Share with us a little bit about what they would receive through the coaching program? Molly, thank you for coming on the program today. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? You have a special gift on your website if someone orders you book and sends you the purchase code as proof, right? Care to explain that? Folks, if you have kids – this interview was for you!  In this day and time, screen addiction is a real threat to them and their future.  As Molly DeFrank has shared with us today, there is a way for you to get back your kids; to get back their future for them. You need to drop down into the show notes and order her great book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids.” ) If you have grandkids, you need to order two copies, one for you and one to pass along to your kids or a parenting the grandkids. Praise God! You can just go out to eat at almost any restaurant and see people actually sitting, at the table, and texting to each other!  Really?  And as you look around, you will find at least half of the people in the place are looking at their phones!  It's really disheartening when you think about it… But Molly's book, https://amzn.to/3SomuKv (“Digital Detox: The Two Week Tech Reset for Kids”) will

The first question I always start with is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Molly DeFrank?” I was reading on your website how you love strong, black coffee that could possibly double for jet fuel!  I can relate!  My wife says my coffee is like medicine!  But you probably needed that to keep up with all of those kids, right? Tell us what led up to your decision to, basically, “pull the plug” on tech for your family for a few weeks? How bad is this problem, really? This is not only unhealthy mentally, but spiritually as well, correct? Dopamine is one of those things that stimulate pleasure in the mind, but too much requires an even greater amount to have that same “pleasurable feeling.” That's how people get addicted to porn, drugs, alcohol, etc., right? What does all of this do to the minds of children, say elementary and middle school age kids and to the minds of teenagers? How did you arrive at the solution of unplugging from tech?
