Shannon Bollhardt is the mother of four-year-old Eleanor Bollhardt. Shannon and her husband tend to have mostly anti-technology parenting tactics when it comes to Ellie. They often limit the amount of technology she uses each day, however, when she does get to use it, it consists of streaming shows through Disney or PBS Kids and playing interactive games like ABC Mouse. Shannon explained how they sometimes give Ellie technology when they need to distract her for a few minutes in order to focus on something else they need to get done. She explains how a lot of the technology use is actively a part of their routines. Ellie knows what to do next based on the routine. For example, she knows that after watching her morning show, it is time for her to get ready to leave the house.
