Between digital abstinence and digital addiction lies .

Total unplugging is unrealistic, let's be honest.

Avoiding being overplugged, overwhelmed and overloaded is more achievable for most of us.

Find opportunity to be connected with what matters, online or off.

Parenting has changed. Digital technologies are now a part of all of our lives and how we choose to intentionally introduce and integrate this into our families deserves careful consideration.

We know unfettered access to devices is unhelpful to a child's development and wellbeing. We also know that quality content, in considered contexts alongside demonstrating key digital capabilities can be a valuable supplement to learning and leisure.

Parents need new lessons on how to manage screens and to be supported to design screen use agreements that combine your families values, best practice evidence on digital participation and communication.

My Tech-Use Agreement course is being updated and will relaunch on November 1, with modules on AI chatbots, games and VR.

Self-regulation, self-control, self-discipline >> they're key things parents always tell me they want for their kids and worry that screens are preventing them learning.

The key to any self-directed skills is demonstration, scaffolding and practice. Young people need to be shown what regulation looks like, they need support (not shame or time out) when they cant manage it solo.

It's part of our job as parents to demonstrate and support kids to regulate, which often means we need to do our own work to get out of overwhelm and dysregulation.

Rather than hoping for the best, how might you more actively support your kiddo to build developmentally appropriate self-directed skills across various aspects of life?
