Screens are with us practically everywhere we go, so managing screen time is a good skill for everyone to develop—especially parents. Here's where to start.
If your kids are already teenagers, it may be too late to cut back on screen time; instead, you may need to focus on making it more productive. However, treat screen time with young kids as if it were just another activity. Talk to them about it, engage with them during their screen time, and let them know you'll monitor them.
Creating healthy and balanced family activities that go beyond screens can and should start at an early age. Clear parental expectations that your children will find non-screen activities to keep themselves occupied should be the norm.If you act and talk as if screen time is bad for you or it’s always a high-calorie dessert rather than a nutritious dinner, your kids will learn to tune you out. The ability to navigate technology and screen time is an important skill you can do with your kids.
