Creating a Tech-healthy Family
Manage episode 316598649 series 3299083
As a stay-at-home mother of 5 with a degree in secondary education, Andrea has tested the ideas she presents within her own family as well as others in the Better Screen Time community. She and husband Tyler created a structure for conversations with children and teens (including this TED talk by Adam Alter) to help them develop the skill of discernment that will serve them throughout their lives. Some specific topics included:
- Importance of parents being unified in their message and being models of healthy screen time usage
- Downloads of non-screen activities for both younger children and teens; a maturity assessment to determine when a child is ready for a phone
- Recommendation of a progression from simple phone to smart phone
- Advice to parents who feel they have already lost the battle with devices
- Identify benefits that come as you practice healthy screen-time habits
