Are you wondering if your family is reinforcing healthy screen habit times?  Reflect (and talk with a partner) about these questions:

  1.  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?
  2. 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?
