Digital Well-Being

Our digital experiences are so connected with our everyday life that they are part of our overall wellness. Good news: You don't have to be a tech expert to help your child master digital well-being. Digital well-being is experiencing media and technology in ways that support one's mental, physical, social, and emotional health. From balanced screen time to safe online interactions, talk about how tech can help or hinder your personal and family values. You might wish for your child's top personal values to match yours, but there's no right or wrong here. Just a great opportunity to connect as a family, without holding any judgments.
