Bethany Hamilton Instagram – As a parent, I’m really aware that technology has a dark side. As a family, we are going very low tech use in our home and it feels right! Things I notice with our boys, they seem to be thriving, they are often creating and they love learning!
I recently talked with Chris @protectyoungeyes for an @ohanaexperiences session, and here were my big takeaways mixed with some of my idea for parents to have a healthy tech home.
– Be curious, not condemning
– Social media contributes to low self-esteem and depression in our youth
– Make tech off-limits for children in bedrooms and darkness
– Help our children find passions that are free from tech!
– Spend time in nature with our children- Our children need time with us!
– Hold off Social AS LONG AS YOU CAN, I’ve heard later than 15 as a suggestion.
Parents, what else have you learned about parenting in the digital space? I’m anticipating some epic ideas in the comments!
