Parents play an important role in educating their child(ren) around the use of digital devices. It starts at an early age. Are they allowed to use my phone to FaceTime with a relative, to watch a movie on Netflix, to play a game, to prevent a meltdown in public? We've all faced these difficult dilemmas and questions, and they do get more challenging as students grow older. When do I give my child(ren) a Smartphone? Whey do they start to use social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tic Toc)?
Today's world is saturated with media and information. Data, research, and news are at our fingertips 24/7. This information can enhance our daily lives, yet needs to be managed appropriately. As we jump headfirst into the 2019-2020 school year, consider setting expectations with your child(ren) around their use of a smartphone or digital device. Expectation setting is helpful as you look to start the year on a positive note, especially as your middler begins to reconnect with or start new friendships with other students.
