Feeling overwhelmed? Want to improve your relationships, protect your sleep, and keep your family safe from online dangers?
Here’s where to begin: The 5 Core Healthy Screen Habits.
We believe these essential practices will help combat some of the most problematic screen-use issues we see today. These 5 habits provide the biggest “bang for your buck” when it comes to parenting with technology.
Ask yourself 2 QUESTIONS, whenever you pick up your device:
Remember the "Grandma Rule" when you're writing a DM (direct message), sending a picture, or posting anything online. If you wouldn't want Granny to see it, don't send it!
Put your phone away or set it to silent mode when you're working on important tasks or when you're with people. Stay connected to whoever you're with in person.
Decide on a time that you will turn your phone in for the night. Protect your sleep by charging your phone and other devices in the master bathroom instead of your bedroom.
Keep phones and other connected devices out of bedrooms and bathrooms. Tech stays in public spaces. Remember the 4 S's for safety!

Human beings by nature try to move towards comfort. The trick is learning how to deal with the discomfort we experience throughout life in an emotionally healthy way. Unfortunately, the current tendencies towards dealing with "Big Feelings" by using screens to distract or numb are creating BIG problems.
Kids and adults can find themselves locked in a cycle that is creating vulnerability rather than building strength, durability, and resilience.
