Best Practices For Keeping Our Kids Safe, Smart & Emotionally Resilient in the Digital World
Time and again, parents site struggles with kids over screen time as the number one cause of tension and stress in the family. But it’s not just parents who are struggling. Schools, Churches, Youth Groups and Camps contend with the effects of device use on the larger community on a daily basis.
Teachers, therapists and community leaders who have been working with kids for many years report troubling trends in overall behavior; sighting higher levels of distraction, anxiety, and peer drama, coupled with lower overall sense of empathy and social/emotional resilience.
Kids can and will do amazingly exciting things in the online world - socially, politically and creatively. Let’s offer them the guidance and support that they need in order to get there.
