Are you wondering if your family is reinforcing healthy screen habit times? Reflect (and talk with a partner) about these questions:
- Is my child ...
- Using high-quality and age-appropriate content?
- Having fun and learning while they use tech?
- Getting enough sleep and staying healthy - both physically and emotionally?
- Conntecting socially with family and friends?
- Showing an interest in school and pursing their hobbies?
- Based on how you answered the questions above, are there changes you'd like to make related to your child's screen habits? If yes, what do you want to try?
