Tech-Healthy Kids
Digital Parenting for Emotional Health and Resilience
Parenting in the digital age is complex.
You may find yourself with a long list of questions that are difficult to find solid answers to, from “How much screen time is too much?” to “Will violent video games make my child violent?”
Plus, you’re probably wondering when is it appropriate for kids to have their own phone and access to social media, if all of this technology is impacting your child’s mental health, and how to keep kids safe from inappropriate content.
It can all weigh heavily on your shoulders.
Even if you haven’t allowed your kids on screens or phones yet, how do you prepare them–and yourself–for this eventuality? What are the “best practices”?
And yet, maybe it doesn’t have to be this hard…
We asked a few of the top digital parenting experts about how to raise kids in the tech age. They offered simple tools and guilt-free guidance, so parents will know what to expect at each age and stage.
In this Tech-Healthy Kids short course, we’re sharing all of the valuable insight we learned, to help you feel more confident and prepared as you navigate the digital parenting world (and know how to get back on track if it all goes sideways.)
