Synopsis

What if the secret to effortless and enjoyable travel with your kids is…you?

Modern parents are up against a lot. They’re raising children with less support, higher expectations, and more guilt and complexity than ever. No wonder parents are exhausted and in that exhaustion, turn to devices to get by, especially during travel.

Look Up! offers an alternative perspective — that traveling “eyes up” with children can be magical!

Laugh and learn with Jenna Lee Dillon as she shares comical and strikingly honest tales of screen freed travel with her daughter. Interwoven among the stories are simple strategies you can start using right now to reduce screen time in favor of presence, deep connection, and unforgettable memories. Foundational tools will enable you to enjoy parenting more. Child development-informed guidance will help your children foster curiosity, independence, self-determination, emotional resilience, and a sense of adventure.

By the end of Look Up!, you and your tiny copilots will be ready for an amazing journey of fun, fulfillment, and freedom.

"I love the stories the author pulls in to give examples of real life situations she has lived though. Reading the book was like having a conversation with a best friend who was encouraging, thoughtful and supportive and most importantly, helpful."

- Joanna (Goodreads)

"As a dad to a teenage daughter, I wish I would've had this book 12 years ago. Between the hilarious stories, excellent tools and heartfelt call to be more present, I finished the book wanting to tell everyone I know about it. It's encouraging to know how to change our relationships with screens without feeling judged. I highly recommend this read."

This one meets you exactly where you are, and gives you all the ideas, advice, and inspiration you need to walk away going, "Okay, how can I work what I just learned into where I want to go from here?"

- Forrest (Goodreads)

"This one is gonna get right into your soul. You're a good parent, that's why you're reading this review. You want to be a better parent. This book isn't just about getting your kiddo off their screen addiction (although it's awesome for that), it's about being present yourself and learning to really experience your kids, and help them experience life in a very real way."

- Wayne (Goodreads review)

"Filled with hilarious stories, butt-kicking wisdom and the well-written words of what sound like a best-girlfriends most sage advice...offered me laughs, ideas, tips and exact how-to's. Helped me understand the areas of grey when it comes to screens and that I don't have to go totally without screens... Her words brought me comfort and joy, and implementing what I've learned has brought me peace and new experiences I wouldn't have enjoyed without her guidance."

Through SFR, Jenna Lee shares tools to cultivate an indomitable mindset, uncover more joy, and navigate technology boundaries with purpose and peace.When she's not writing, talking about being Screen Freed on podcasts, or hopping on a plane, Jenna Lee can be found playing volleyball rather poorly but with great enthusiasm.
